Nancy made one of her last public appearances at the centennial of her husband’s birth in February 2011 on the porch of the Reagan Library.

Reagan died Sunday of congestive heart failure at her home in Los Angeles. Nancy Reagan was the ideal example of charm and caring that embodies the term ‘First Lady.’ Nancy and Ronald Reagan were an American love story that has never ended. Nancy Reagan will be buried next to her husband at the library.

The order will be in effect until the former First Lady is interred. The portrait appeared on the January 14, 1985, edition of the publication.

Graham said he believes one of Nancy’s best qualities was her “steadfast and loyal support for her husband”.

A spokeswoman for the library said the ceremony would “most likely be televised”.

After she and her husband left Washington, she became his protector again as he struggled with Alzheimer’s disease until his death in 2004.

“Ronald Reagan was the keynote speaker”.

Eberly described Nancy Reagan as gracious, devoted, and strong.

Todd Gardenhire, who once worked on the advance team of Nancy Reagan in the 1980s, says the late First Lady was a “lady at all times”. “But God gave her plenty of time that she lived through to good goal both for her family and for her country and for improving our relations, human ones, both between the two presidents and between our countries”, Gorbachev said.

“I had the honor of getting to know Ronald and Nancy Reagan very well”, said Gov. Branstad.

“It was only, I think, after some of the criticism of that first year, when she redecorated the White House and bought some expensive china in the midst of a recession, that they began talking about the need for a makeover”, said Goodwin.
