Nancy Reagan, the wife of the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, died at her home in Los Angeles March 6th. The cause of death was congestive heart failure. Mrs. Reagan played a big role with her husband's political career. "Without Nancy, there would have been no Governor Reagan, no President Reagan," said Michael K. Deaver, who was a longtime aide and close friend to the family who passed in 2007.
Nancy and Ronald met as actors on the set of the 1957 film Hellcats of the Navy. According to Detroit News Time, Nancy was Reagan's most trusted adviser during his term. Nancy also started a program called "Just Say No," which was aimed at young people and campaigned against drugs. "Drugs take away the dream from every child's heart and replace it with a nightmare, and it's time we in America stand up and replace those dreams," she said in a speech. Her work led to 12,000 Just Say No clubs being set up across America.
