First Lady Michelle Obama will pay her respects to former First Lady Betty Ford by attending her funeral tomorrow, the White House announced.

Former First Lady and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will join FLOTUS on the trip to Palm Desert, California, where the service will take place.

Ford — wife of late President Gerald Ford — passed away last week at age 93. Her body will then be flown to Michigan, where she will be buried next to her husband at the Gerald K. Ford Library.
