Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) released the following statement on the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush.
“I was saddened to hear the news of the passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush. Mrs. Bush was a remarkable woman whose compassion touched the lives of many– she held a special place in our country and especially here in Maine. When I met the first lady, it was clear that she was perceptive, outspoken and loved her family, her dogs and the state of Maine.
The former First Lady’s commitment to Maine was always apparent through her donation of time and resources to the Maine Literacy Volunteers, the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center, and the University of New England’s George and Barbara Bush Center. Her legacy will live on through her family and her charitable works. Our thoughts remain with the Bush family during this sad time.”
