The Reagan Library spokesperson announced Sunday, March 6th former first lady Nancy Reagan passed away Sunday of congestive heart failure at the age of 94.
Born Anne Frances Robbins on July 6, 1921, she was given the name Nancy by her mother. Mrs. Reagan’s father left the family when she was young. Her mother, Edith Robbins, toured the country as an actress. Mrs. Reagan later married Dr. Loyal Davis, and the family settled in Chicago.
Having caught the acting bug from her mother, young Nancy pursued the profession in New York and Hollywood, where she met with fellow thespian Ronald Reagan.
She will be buried next to her husband, former President Ronald Reagan, at his presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif.
The library said that, in lieu of flowers, Mrs. Reagan requested that memorial contributions be made to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation.
