Thelma "Pat" Nixon
Thelma Catherine Ryan "Pat" Nixon[1] (March 16, 1912 – June 22, 1993) was the wife of former President Richard Nixon and the First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974. She was commonly known as Pat Nixon.
Orphaned at the age of twelve, Pat worked numerous jobs to pay for her college education until marrying lawyer Richard Nixon in 1940 and having two children. With Pat's assistance, Richard "Dick" was elected Congressman in 1946; Dwight D. Eisenhower chose him to be his running-mate in 1952. Pat became First Lady of the United States on January 20, 1969, upon her husband's presidency victory, during which she promoted a number of charitable causes including volunteerism, and acquired more than 600 artifacts for the White House, an acquisition larger than that of any other administration. She also encouraged women to run for political offices and became the first first lady to visit a combat zone. After being re-elected in a landslide victory of 1972, President Nixon resigned the office two years later amidst the Watergate scandal, prompting the Nixons to return to California.
Pat's public appearances became rarer in her later life. She suffered two strokes within ten years of returning to California, leaving her paralyzed on her left side. Eventually regaining full movement on that side, she was later diagnosed with lung cancer and died June 22, 1993.`taken from Wiki
