Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's mother, Dorothy Howell Rodham, died early Tuesday in Washington, the Clinton family said. She was 92. Hillary Clinton had canceled a scheduled trip to Britain and Turkey after her mother fell ill. No details of her mother's illness were disclosed.
Dorothy Rodham made occasional campaign appearances with her daughter during Clinton's unsuccessful Democratic presidential bid in 2008, and she helped the former first lady raise money to retire her campaign debt.
She also made trips with the Clintons during their years in the White House, including a 2000 visit to India and a 1998 trip to China.
A statement from the Clintons said Rodham died shortly after midnight, surrounded by her family.
