Barbara had rejected further medical treatment following series of hospitalizations, including one in early 2017 when she and her husband were both patients at Houston Methodist Hospital.
She is the second woman in U.S. history to be a wife and mother of the country's president.
Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams and mother of John Quincy Adams, was the first US First Lady to hold a similar place in American history.
Barbara's son George W. Bush was sworn in as the 43rd president eight years after she and her husband left the White House.
