LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Betty Ford, the wife of the late President Gerald Ford and whose battles with addiction led to the founding of a famed drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic bearing her name, died on Friday. Ford was 93.

"I was deeply saddened this afternoon when I heard of Betty Ford's death," former first lady Nancy Reagan said in a statement confirming Ford's death.

RIP

To be fair, I thought she was already dead. Just like Nancy Regan.

Indeed. I figured she was gone 3 decades ago. Had absolutely no idea she was still alive.

Is that Phil Regan's wife? I'm almost sure she's dead.

Betty Ford was the first 1st Lady that was a real woman and not some June Cleaver robot. Well,maybe FDR's wife was the first but it doesn't count because I wasn't born yet. Mrs. Ford was a nice person from what I can tell. Rest in Peace,Betty.

Being 100% honest, I was disappointed when I heard the news. Then I realized that I confused Betty Ford with Betty White. Still sucks but I don't feel as bad.
