Barbara Bush, the wife of an American president and the mother of another, died Tuesday, April 17 at the age of 92 years.

Earlier, the office of her husband, ex-President George Bush Sr., said that the 92-year-old former first lady decided to abandon further treatment after a recent series of hospitalizations and consultations with family and doctors.
