Lady Bird Johnson, a pioneering spirit who professionalized the first lady's office and transformed the nation's landscape, died Wednesday. She was 94. Born Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson, Lady Bird was "the first environmentalist to live in the White House since Teddy Roosevelt," according to Harry Middleton, the first director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson presidential library.
She was the wife of former President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson, and was First Lady of the United States from November 1963 to January 1969.
