Geraldine Ferraro, the trailblazing 1984 vice presidential nominee, died Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital surrounded by her family, NBC News confirmed. She was 75.

Ferraro died of complications from multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that she had battled for 12 years, according to a statement from her family.


Multiple myeloma is a hard way to go.

@JPB,
Oh no, I didn't know that was imminent.

The '84 election was very personal because Mondale was a local guy (I was in mpls at the time) and of course because most everyone I knew wanted Reagan OUT. I was proud of her as the first female veep nominee.

@sozobe,
We had no idea she had been sick for so long.

She's had a close call a few years back, as I remember.
I always liked her and she was a gutsy lady! Would have been perfect as VP,
she just was a bit ahead of her times.... RIP Geraldine!
