When did Barbara Bush pass away?

I just heard earlier this evening that Barbara Bush died, but for some reason I thought I had seen/heard she passed away last night and even mentioned it to my wife but the news alerts didn't start pouring in until this evening. Was I maybe imagining things last night - like I am sometimes prone to doing? Losing my mind, maybe?

The Bush Family is evil.

I am not going to participate in the usual post-mortem accolades.

Barbara Bush said many hateful things about people who didn't have her wealth.

She said obnoxious things about people who held other political or social views than she did.

She failed to raise her son, George, as a compassionate and empathetic person.

She lived in Texas, so let me say this in Texan: Bless her heart.

You weren't imagining because I saw it too on FB. I just assumed it was from CNN.
