Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara Pierce Bush, are doing their part to carry on the work started by their late grandmother, former first lady Barbara Bush. In a segment that aired on TODAY Nov. 7, Jenna recalled how she and her sister were influenced by their grandmother, who died at the age of 92 in 2018, and witnessed her impact through deeds like reading to patients at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland, Maine.
“When we were little, even when my grandmother was first lady, all of us, Barbara and I and all of our cousins, would spend almost the whole summer , and our parents were sometimes there, and they sometimes weren’t,” Jenna said. “And I think for her, she had three really great loves. She had her grandchildren. She had reading. And she had my grandfather. And we felt that love by her presence, by the fact that she wanted us around all the time.
