Former First Lady, married to Gerald Ford for 58 years. A gracious, intelligent & brave woman. Worked to de-stigmatize mental illness & addiction, at the forefront of raising breast cancer awareness, & an advocate for women's rights.
Died on the day it was reported that Michele Bachmann signed off on a "
pledge" - a "Marriage Vow" that is a jaw-dropping document of racism, bigotry & ignorance, so outrageous I can't bring myself to write about it. An insult to memory of Betty Ford.
