Hillary Clinton’s mother dies at 92

DOROTHY RODHAM, mother of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton’s mother-in-law, has died at the age of 92 after an illness.

The family said Rodham died surrounded by her family at a Washington hospital.

The Clinton family hailed Rodham as a woman who “overcame abandonment and hardship as a young girl to become the remarkable woman she was — a warm, generous and strong woman; an intellectual; 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”.
