Rest in peace, Nancy Reagan.

The former first lady sadly died from congestive heart failure at her LA home on the morning of Sunday, March 6, her rep, Joanne Drake, confirmed. She was 94-years-old.

"Mrs. Reagan will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., next to her husband, Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died on June 5, 2004," Drake wrote in a statement, according to NBC News.

Nancy was an actress when she met Ronald — then an actor and president of the Screen Actors Guild — in November 1959. The couple later married in March 1952 and had two children, actress and author Patti Davis, 63, and talk radio host and political analyst Ron Reagan, 57, together.
