Pat Nixon - Biography

Thelma Catherine "Pat" Nixon was the wife of Richard Nixon, 37th President of the United States, and First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.
As First Lady, Pat Nixon promoted a number of charitable causes, including volunteerism. She oversaw the collection of more than 600 pieces of historic art and furnishings for the White House, an acquisition larger than that of any other administration. She was the most traveled First Lady in U.S. history, a record unsurpassed until twenty-five years later. She accompanied the President as the first First Lady to visit China and the Soviet Union, and her solo trips to Africa and South America gained her recognition as "Madame Ambassador"; she was also the first First Lady to enter a combat zone. These trips gained her favorable reception in the media and the host countries. Her tenure ended when, after being re-elected in a landslide victory in 1972, President Nixon resigned two years later amid the Watergate scandal.

Pat Nixon died at her Park Ridge, New Jersey, home at 5:45 a.m. on June 22, 1993, the day after her fifty-third wedding anniversary. She was 81 years old. Her daughters and husband, Richard, were by her side.
Nixon's tombstone gives her name as "Patricia Ryan Nixon", the name by which she was popularly known. Former President Nixon survived her by ten months, dying on April 22, 1994. Her epitaph reads:
“Even when people can't speak your language, they can tell if you have love in your heart.”
