Nancy Kissinger, Wife of Former U.S. Secretary of State, Dies at 92

Nancy Kissinger, the wife of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, has passed away at her home in South Kent, Connecticut. She was 92 years old.

Described in The New York Times as politically astute and well-versed in international affairs, Mrs. Kissinger was a staunch defender of her husband's legacy. The couple married in 1974, and she accompanied him on numerous diplomatic missions. After he left office three years later, they remained active in social and political circles, frequently attending state dinners and Republican events at the White House.

Beyond their public life, the Kissingers were notable figures in New York City, where they primarily resided. They were known to attend cultural events, including museum openings and fashion shows by designers like Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta. Henry Kissinger died in 2023, having reached the age of 100 earlier that year. The couple had no children together, though Henry Kissinger had two children from a previous marriage, Elizabeth Vandermark and David Kissinger, and five grandchildren.
