Hillary Clinton's mother, Dorothy Rodham, died shortly after midnight Tuesday in Washington D.C., according to a statement from the secretary of state's family. She was 92.
Rodham recently fell ill, causing Clinton to cancel a trip to London and Turkey. She died surrounded by her family, a statement said.
Rodham was born in Chicago on June 4, 1919, and settled in suburban Park Ridge to raise her family. Her cause of death was not disclosed.
To remember her, Clinton and loved ones will hold a private celebration for family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dorothy's memory to George Washington Hospital, the Heifer Project or to a local organization "meaningful to the giver that helps neglected and mistreated children."
"Her family is and will be forever grateful for the gift of Dorothy's life and for the memories they will treasure forever," a statement read.
