Former first lady Betty Ford has died at age 93, the director of the Ford Museum and Library says.
Ford died Friday at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California.
Betty Ford was the wife of former president Gerald Ford. She married Mr. Ford two weeks before he was elected to his first term in Congress. Gerald Ford died in December 2006, after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed ailment in April 2007.
Betty Ford served as First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977. During her time in the White House, Ford was an outspoken advocate of women's rights -- encouraging the appointment of more women to senior government posts, supporting the U.N. International Women's Year in 1975, and supporting passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
You might want to check your dates on Mr. Ford. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have undergone surgery 4 months after his death! Just sayin'...
