Former first lady Lady Bird Johnson dies at 94
Lady Bird Johnson, a former first lady, a Texas legend, a woman who used the humble wildflower to teach an entire nation to treasure and preserve the environment, died Wednesday. She was 94.
In recent years, the widow of Lyndon Baines Johnson was virtually silenced by a stroke. She was nearly blinded by macular degeneration. Still, she lived her life with enthusiasm, dividing her time between the family ranch in Stonewall and an Austin home near the presidential library dedicated to her late husband. She thrived on visits with friends and family and inhaled mystery books on tape.
Texas and America have lost another Great Lady!!! Enjoy Your Wild Flowers and Your Rest you have earned them and taught us all by your presence and grace. You will be missed but your memory will live on when any of us see a wild flower bloom.
