Hillary Rodham Clinton cancelled a planned trip to London on Monday because her mother was ill. Dorothy Rodham died early Tuesday morning at the age of 92.

She was last publicly photographed at the 2010 wedding of her granddaughter Chelsea Clinton, who wed Marc Mezvinsky in a lavish ceremony.

The Secretary of State issued a family statement, “She was a warm, generous and strong woman…an intellectual; a woman who told a great joke and always got the joke; an extraordinary friend and, most of all, a loving wife, mother and grandmother.”

Rodham had been living with her daughter outside of Washington D.C. since 2006. She died at Georgetown University Hospital, surrounded by family.

Her husband Hugh E. Rodham died in 1993. They raised three children: Hillary, Hugh and Tony.

The family plans to hold a private celebration of her life.
