6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Ronald Reagan, Father and Former US President, "Maureen is someone who we love dearly, and yet, someone who we also recognize as the extrodinary individual that she is, and that isn't all that easy. As I said, it's always a little bit of a surprise for a father, just as it was that night in Detroit, to realize that that's your daughter up there on the TV screen, not only a grown woman, I'm not that old yet, but a leader, a mover, someone who is making the world a whole lot better place to live."

STORYLINE:
Maureen Reagan, daughter of the former U-S president, was praised Saturday by mourners at her funeral, who called her a warm, charming woman and a tireless crusader against Alzheimer's disease.
Ms. Reagan, 60, died on August 8 at her Granite Bay home after a torturous nine-month battle with skin cancer.
The illness had progressed from a melanoma diagnosis in 1996 to tumors in her hip and brain.
She was the former U-S president's oldest daughter.
Ms. Reagan's maple casket, decorated with a spray of pink roses and white mums, was carried by Secret Service agents into the 112 year old Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.
The agents all had been assigned to Ms. Reagan at one point.
Ms. Reagan's mother, Jane Wyman, also attended and laid a cross on the casket.
Stepmother Nancy Reagan arrived with daughter Patti Davis.
Ronald Reagan did not to attend.
The 90-year-old former president, who is stricken with Alzheimer's disease, stayed behind at his Bel-Air home.
Orien Reid, who chairs the Alzheimer's Association's board of directors, called Ms. Reagan "the Joan of Arc of Alzheimer's."
In a videotaped message, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni praised Ms. Reagan for her interest in human rights in his country.
Ms. Reagan's daughter, Rita, is an adopted Ugandan.
Environmental Protection Agency Christie Whitman highlighted Ms. Reagan's indomitable personality.
The former president's first child, Ms. Reagan travelled the country nearly nonstop in the final years of her life, ignoring her own declining health as she spread the word about Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.
There was an outpouring of praise when her death was announced last week.
A Republican since childhood, she knocked on doors for Dwight Eisenhower's 1952 presidential campaign, Maureen Reagan co-chaired the Republican National Committee from 1987 to 1989 and twice sought public office herself.
She lost a primary election bid for a U-S Senate seat from California to fellow Republican Pete Wilson in 1982 and finished second in a 1992 Republican primary for a California congressional seat.
An outspoken feminist, Ms. Reagan sometimes clashed with her father politically over abortion rights and an equal rights amendment to the Constitution.
Despite their disagreements, they were remembered as fiercely loyal to one another.
Ms. Reagan became a national spokeswoman for the Alzheimer's Association after her father announced in 1994 that he had the disease and was beginning "the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life."
In lieu of flowers, Ms. Reagan's family has asked for donations to be sent to the Maureen Reagan Tribute Fund at the Alzheimer's Association.

Periodically we rewind the memory of President Reagan's era, as it is just yeaterday. the golden time in 80's, when we are not so wealthy but so confident and brave with hope. May God bless our people.

My hurt for this family, and it was so long ago. May they be together again now in heaven.🌹

[@ericnelson9100]

It's been said Reagan and Jane Wyman's relationship deteoirated after their second child was still born, whom they named Christine. At that time there was no outreach to try and deal with such issues, and apparently Wyman never really wanted to adopt Michael and never truly connected with him.

[@texan903]

Wyman wasn't that close to either of her children whom she shipped to boarding school after her divorce from Reagan.

[@flameclow1219]

Epic!!!

[@travelseatsyellowlab]

Sadly it sucks for Maureen that she predeceased both parents. To be survived by one parent is a horror, but both is tragic beyond belief.

[@ralphkramden2089]

I though her dad croaked first

She was 60 years old at the time of her death. However, I don't have specific details about the funeral arrangements or events following her passing. Funeral arrangements and ceremonies are private affairs, and details may not be widely publicized out of respect for the family's privacy. If there have been any developments or additional information regarding Maureen Reagan's funeral since then, I recommend checking more recent and reliable sources for the latest updates.

[@frankbenjamin4116]

Yep. When you die, you get a fifteen-minute freebie. You pop right out of the box like you've got a rocket up your ass, and what you do with the time is up to you. Don't criticize her for how she chose to spend it. Jesus fucking Christ.

The Reagans were the face of conservatism in the '80s, all gung-ho for "family values", but the reality of Ronald's original family with his first wife was less than rosy and wholesome.

[@travelseatsyellowlab]

Jane Wyman shot to international fame during the marriage after winning the Academy Award for Best Actress. She started an affair and Reagan became increasingly involved with politics, albeit on a small scale at that time. Then tragedy struck as the Reagans' daughter, Christine, was delivered as a stillborn in 1948, the final straw for his first marriage. On another note, Wyman and Reagan were ill-suited for marriage to begin with. She had been married once or twice before Reagan and had come from a broken home. His family was slightly more stable, at least a two-parent household.

[@mikewhite4560]

H Y P O C R I T S. The TV PRESIDENCY....

[@debbiedelight7988]

Why didn’t Ronald Reagan stand up for the horrible treatment of black people? I didn’t know he was born in 1911 and I didn’t know he was married before Nancy😮 I don’t respect no presidents and actors that didn’t fight for the equal treatment of black people.

[@texan903]

Reagan did not care how black people were treated. He was a Republican.
