Former U.S. first lady Lady Bird Johnson, 94, died of natural causes at her Austin, Texas, home on Wednesday, a family spokeswoman said.
Johnson, the widow of former President Lyndon Johnson, had been in frail health for several years following a 2002 stroke, which had left her unable to speak.
In June, Johnson spent six days in an Austin hospital for tests and observation because of a low-grade fever.
Lyndon Johnson, who became president when John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963 and held the office until 1969, died of a heart attack in 1973 at his ranch west of Austin in the Texas Hill Country.
Raph's Girl note: To be honest I thought she died years ago. Wow tho...she lived a good long life, 94!
