Dorothy Howell Rodham, Hillary Clinton's Mother, Dies

Hillary Clinton's 92 year-old mother Dorothy Howell Rodham passed away after midnight on Tuesday. Dorothy was living with Hilary and Bill in Washington D.C. since 2006.

The Clintons issued the following statement: "...She overcame abandonment and hardship as a young girl to become the remarkable woman she was - a warm, generous and strong woman; an intellectual." The Clintons continued: "A woman who told a great joke and always got the joke; an extraordinary friend and, most of all, a loving wife, mother and grandmother."

The family is asking that donations be made to George Washington Hospital in lieu of flowers.

"Her family is and will be forever grateful for the gift of Dorothy's life and for the memories they will treasure forever."
