Bess Truman
Bess Truman was the wife of Harry S. Truman, and she remained in our collective memory as one of the most down-to-earth first ladies in history.
As we can see from the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum’s website, Bess Truman always kept her old habits, even after she became the first lady of the White House.
She went to the same old beauty shop and continued to pay only $3.00 for her weekly manicure, shampoo, and set.
As she said, there was no reason to change. Bess Truman died in October 1982, as she suffered from congestive heart failure at only 97 years old. She is the longest-lived First Lady in U.S. history.

Its interesting to note, all of these ladies were married to Democrats… how about Melania Trump, who was an advocate for cyberbulling?
Or Barbara Bush, who pushed for literacy, help for the homeless, AIDS victims, the elderly?
Nancy Reagan- advocate for the “Just Say No” initiative….
President Obama was ONE of the BEST & his First Lady too!! I want them BACK.
my all time favorite is Melania Trump
Historically for all she did and for the support, guidance, and advice she gave her husband. Along with all her duties, responsibilities and all of this during what is considered the most traumatic time for this country and longest time of doing it as first lady and continuing all the civic duties, functions and responsibilities
in serving the American people after his death. Eleanor Roosevelt is by far the most important and impactful if not the greatest first lady of all time and probably forever.
Michelle O’Bama
The very best and classiest First Lady is hands down, Melania Trump and 2nd would be Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. After them, the rest are all about the same.
You completely left out Melania Trump, who has been the classiest First Lady – perhaps ever. She carries herself so well, always looks impeccable in whatever she wears, has classy taste not only in her attire, but in the ways she decorated the White House & hosted the many White House functions. Michelle Obama couldn’t touch her with a 10 ft pole! Melania is probably the only First Lady who spoke fluently so many other languages & was completely comfortable in other nations as well as America. Shame on you for overlooking this beautiful lady!
No Melania Trump????…. Who da thunk it?!
You left out the best first Lady Mrs Trump. You must be a far left anti Milania Trump. She was as polite,kind,and beautiful first Lady.
Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy, in that order, and all three were examples of what a 1st lady should be.
Jackline Kennedy and Meliana Trump were my favorites. That racist bitch obama was ashamed of the US!!!
Where is Melania Trump in this list? I am sure most Conservative women loved her as I did. She brought classy back reminded me Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Michell Obamba, really???? She looked like she always had on dresses from Walmart, she’s racist and a super bitch. I see Melania Trump was not there. SHE was the BEST, so was he.
You left out Milania Trump. Much more elegant than Michele Obama.
