Nancy Reagan, wife of Ronald Reagan

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan took care of her husband, former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1994. Ten years later, at age 93, he died at home from pneumonia brought on by the disease. Here Nancy Reagan arrives with the remains of her husband before the procession leading to the Capitol Building in 2004.
