Nancy Kissinger, wife of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, dies at 92

Nancy Kissinger, a prominent philanthropist and former foreign policy researcher, has died at the age of 92. She passed away at her home in South Kent, Connecticut.

As the wife of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, she was a constant presence in American diplomatic life for decades. While she never held an official diplomatic post, she accompanied her husband on numerous international missions to regions including Russia and the Middle East. She was widely regarded as his most trusted advisor and a significant figure in the New York philanthropy and social scenes.

Before her marriage in 1974, she worked closely with New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Following her husband's death in November 2023, her passing marks the end of a long partnership that was central to the political landscape of the Nixon and Ford administrations. She is expected to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery alongside her late husband.
