Former First Lady Barbara Bush died at the age of 92 on Tuesday, according to a statement released by the office of George H. W. Bush.

In a statement issued last Sunday by the same spokesperson, the former First Lady had elected to receive “comfort care” over additional medical treatment after a series of hospitalizations, according to NPR.

“It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others,” it said. “She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving.”, NPR reports.
