Former first lady Lady Bird Johnson has died

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!

aww.

I always thought it was kinda cute that her family all had the initials LBJ. Least now she can be with her hubby again. I know she missed him so much.

She will be sadly missed for her advocacy.
If she wasn't around, there would probably be
billboards on every stretch of every interstate in
the U.S.
