Washington - The mother of US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton died Tuesday at age 92, the Clinton family said in a statement.
Dorothy Howell Rodham was remembered as 'a warm, generous and strong woman; an intellectual; a woman who told a great joke and always got the joke; an extraordinary friend' in the statement posted on former president Bill Clinton's foundation website.
Clinton has cancelled plans to attend Turkey's regional conference this week on the way forward in Afghanistan.
Dorothy Rodham died in Washington, surrounded by family, the statement said.
'Her story was a quintessentially American one, largely because she wrote it herself. She overcame abandonment and hardship as a young girl to become the remarkable woman she was,' the family said.
