Betty Ford, wife of former President Gerald Ford died late last week. She was 93 at the time of her death. Ford was very outspoken and did not necessarily agree with her husband on all issues.

Having suffered from substance abuse and addiction herself, she founded the now-famed Betty Ford clinic. When Ford was diagnosed with breast cancer, she openly discussed the topic with the press, bringing breast cancer into the public limelight for the first time.

She was married to former President Gerald Ford for 58 years when he died on December 26, 2006. Mrs. Ford will be buried alongside her husband at his library in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
