LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- President Joe Biden attended a memorial service on Wednesday for former Indiana First Lady Susan Bayh at the Washington National Cathedral.
Bayh, an attorney, died in February from brain cancer at the age of 61.
President Joe Biden attends a memorial service for Susan Bayh at the Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 29.
Bayh first underwent brain surgery in 2015 to remove a benign tumor, but she later had multiple surgeries and radiation and immunotherapy treatments after a malignant glioblastoma was discovered in May 2018. That is the same type of aggressive brain cancer that killed Arizona Sen. John McCain.
She was Indiana’s first lady for eight years after her husband, former Gov. Evan Bayh, won election to the first of two terms as governor in 1988.
The Bayhs had lived in Washington since Evan Bayh was elected to the Senate in 1998.
