I realize now that her passing is more premature than I had realized at first. She must have been just about 60 (younger than I am now) when she made that famous "silver foot in his mouth" quip about George HERBERT Walker Bush back in 1992.   I think the white hair threw me off, even though she looked stunning with it.   
She was diagnosed with her esophageal cancer less than 6 months ago.   What a bummer. She still had a lot of mileage left and we could surely use her in the political arena about now.
