HOUSTON (RNN) – Barbara Bush has died, according to CNN.

A spokesperson for the Bush family announced Sunday on Twitter that former first lady, Barbara Bush, who is 92 years old, had decided to not seek any more medical treatment.

The announcement came following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting with her family and doctors. 

According to CNN, Mrs. Bush had been suffering for a while and had been in and out of the hospital battling with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and congestive heart failure.

Jim McGrath, a post-White House spokesperson for President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush, said the former first lady was surrounded by a family she adored and appreciated the many kind messages and especially the prayers she received.
