10 Barbara Bush Quotes That Sum Up Who She Really Was

Last night, the nation mourned as we learned of the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush. She alone with Abigail Adams is the only woman to have been both the wife and mother of a United State President, but she was also so much more than that. Barbara Bush was also an advocate for so many, especially children and families. She was a lover and pursuer of literacy for her fellow citizens, and has been described as the glue that held her family of six children together. Though she never discussed it much, Barbara Bush was also the grieving mom of a child gone too soon. Her daughter Robin died of Leukemia in 1953 just before her 4th birthday. It was at this time in her life that Bush’s hair began to turn prematurely and famously white.
