I checked up and the mothers of the 2 most recent first ladies Clinton and Bush II are still living. Dorothy Howell Rodham b. 1921 (Hillary Rodham Clinton) and Jenna Welch, date of birth unknown (Laura Bush), she is in her upper eighties. Both should be considered potential deaths in the next few ytears, but not nessecarily for the 2006 list. Aside from the elder Bushes the only living presidential parent (or closest thing to it) is Richard "Dick" Kelley, the stepfather of former president Bill Clinton. I checked up on him and he is living in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Kelley, the fourth husband (and widower) of Clinton's mother Virginia Clinton Kelley is 91 or 92. I don't know what his health status is. Jenna Welch, former DDP pick, died Friday: https://www.today.com/news/jenna-bush-hager-honors-grandma-namesake-jenna-welch-who-passed-t153994 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2018/celebs_H.html#hawkij Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted May 12, 2019 Was thinking about doing a list of former First Ladies around the world. Could be a big job. Meantime, is Graça Machel the only living former First Lady of two countries? By which I mean a sovereign state that's a member of the United Nations in its own right (the "Richard Osman Gambit").

Toast 16,140 Posted June 28, 2019 Clarissa Eden is not a former First Lady. She was the wife of a man who was Prime Minister for less than two years. If we actually had a title of First Lady in the UK, it would refer to the Queen or Queen Consort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
