Early life

Thelma Catherine Ryan was born in Ely, Nevada, the day before St. Patrick's Day. Her father, William M. Ryan, Sr., was a sailor, gold miner, and truck farmer of Irish descent. Her mother, Katherine Halberstadt, was a German immigrant. [1] Although the family was Methodist, her father was baptized in the Catholic faith and was thought to have returned to it shortly before he died. Pat was a nickname given her by her father, referring to her birthdate and Irish ancestry.[2] Upon enrolling in college in 1931, she dropped her first name of Thelma, thereby replacing it with Pat, though she occasionally rendered it Patricia; the name change, however was not legal, and her legal name remained Thelma Catherine. Ely is a city located in White Pine County, Nevada. ... St. ... The Methodist movement is a group of denominations of Protestant Christianity. ...

Her family soon moved near Los Angeles, California, and in 1914, settled on a small truck farm in Artesia; the area in which the Ryans lived now is part of present-day Cerritos.^[1] During this time she worked on the family farm and also at a local bank as a janitor and bookkeeper. Her mother died of cancer in 1924.^[2] Pat, who was 12, assumed all the household duties for her father, who died in 1929 of silicosis, and two older brothers, William M. Jr. (1910-1997) and Thomas (1911-1992). She also had a half-sister, Neva Bender (born 1909), and a half-brother, Matthew Bender (born 1907), from her mother's first marriage.

"I never had it easy"

It has been said that few, if any First Ladies worked as consistently before their marriage as did Pat Nixon. [3] As Nixon told the writer Gloria Steinem during the 1968 presidential campaign, "I never had it easy. I never had time to think about things like...who I wanted to be or whom I admired, or to have ideas. I never had time to dream about being anyone else. I had to work."^[3] Gloria Steinem at news conference, Womens Action Alliance, January 12, 1972 Gloria Marie Steinem (born March 25, 1934) is an American feminist icon, journalist and womens rights advocate. ...

After graduating from Excelsior High School in 1929, Pat Ryan attended Fullerton Junior College, which she paid for by working as a driver, an X-ray technician, a pharmacy manager, and a typist. She also earned money sweeping the floors of a local bank. As a profile noted, "She began her life in a tent, she suspects, and seems to have spent the years of her youth getting out of it."^[4] Fullerton College, in Fullerton, California, is the oldest community college in continuous operation in California, having been established in 1913. ...

She also worked her way through the University of Southern California, where she majored in merchandising. As a former professor noted, "She stood out from the empty-headed, overdressed little sorority girls of that era like a good piece of literature on a shelf of cheap paperbacks."^[5]She held part-time jobs on campus, worked as a sales clerk in Bullock's-Wilshire department store, taught typing and shorthand at a high school, and supplemented her income by working as an extra in the film industry. She can be seen in a brief walk-on in the 1935 film Becky Sharp, in which she spoke one line, though her dialogue was cut from the film. She also appeared in 1936 film The Great Ziegfeld.

Marriage and family

The Nixons at the White House.

While in Whittier, Pat Ryan met a young lawyer fresh out of Duke University, Richard Milhous Nixon. The two became acquainted at a Little Theater group when they were cast together in The Dark Tower, a play so unimpressive that co-playwright Alexander Woollcott had it removed from his list of published works in Who's Who (UK). Known as Dick, Nixon asked Pat Ryan to marry him the first night they went out. "I thought he was nuts or something," she recalled.^[6] He courted her for two years, however, even driving her on dates with other beaus, a situation that she preferred to remain secret, saying to one reporter, "It's true, but it's mean to repeat it."^[7]They married at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California on June 21, 1940.

By the time the Nixons reached the White House, observers characterized them as "people who have lost whatever they once had between them." Judith Viorst in The New York Times wrote that "critics compare the Kennedy marriage ('As bad as it was, you knew that something was there') and the Johnson marriage ('He couldn't live without her') to the Nixons' ('Dry as dust')". She further noted that a friend of the president's privately said that the First Lady's husband "doesn't seem to view her as a person".^[8] Judith Viorst (born February 2, 1932) is an American author, perhaps best known for her childrens literature, such as The Tenth Good Thing About Barney (about the death of a pet), and the Alexander series of short books, which include Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad...

"A paragon of wifely virtues"

Within six years, Nixon saw her husband elected to the House and the United States Senate and become Dwight D. Eisenhower's vice president. She accompanied her husband abroad in his vice presidential years. On a trip to Venezuela, their car was pelted with rocks, and the Nixons were spat upon as representatives of the U.S. government, but Pat Nixon's warm personality and calm, even stoic public demeanor, then and later, won her much admiration. With her non-political image as loyal wife and dutiful mother, Pat was difficult to dislike, even by Nixon's fiercest critics.

A 1 November 1958 article in the Seattle Times was typical of the media's coverage of the future First Lady, stating that "Mrs. Nixon is always reported to be gracious and friendly. And she sure is friendly. She greets a stranger as a friend. She doesn't just shake hands but clasps a visitors hand in both her hands. Her manner is direct. [...] Mrs. Nixon also upheld her reputation of always looking neat, no matter how long her day has been." A year and a half later, during her husband's campaign for the presidency, The New York Times called her "a paragon of wifely virtues" whose "efficiency makes other women feel slothful and untalented."^[9] November 1 is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 60 days remaining. ...

Nixon was named Outstanding Homemaker of the Year (1953), Mother of the Year (1955), and the Nation's Ideal Housewife (1957), and once admitted that she pressed all of her husband's suits one evening. "Of course, I didn't have to, " she told The New York Times. "But when I don't have work to do, I just think up some new project." Small wonder, the newspaper noted, that some observers described Pat Nixon as "a paper doll, a Barbie doll—plastic, antiseptic, unalive" and that the First Lady "has put every bit of the energy and drive of her youth into playing a role, and she may no longer recognize it as such." As for the criticisms, Pat Nixon said, "I am who I am and I will continue to be."^[10]

First Lady of the United States

One of Nixon's major causes during her White House years was volunteerism, encouraging Americans to address social problems on the local level through volunteering at hospitals, civic organizations, rehabilitation centers, and other outlets; she also was an advocate of the Domestic Services Volunteer Act of 1970. She became involved in the development of recreation areas and parkland, was a member of the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, and lent her support to organizations dedicated to improving the lives of handicapped children. The core of her advocacy efforts, which were inspired in part by the work of Eleanor Roosevelt during the Great Depression, was to focus attention on the working class and the underprivileged, who she believed were often forgotten. Despite her public persona as a traditional wife and homemaker, Nixon also spoke out in favor of women running for political office and during a trip to South Vietnam, became the first First Lady to visit a combat zone.

At the time of the Watergate scandal, Pat Nixon encouraged her husband, in vain, to destroy his collection of secret tape recordings while they were still considered to be private property. Steadfastly believing in his innocence, she also encouraged him not to resign and instead fight all the impeachment charges that had been levelled against him. However, on August 8, 1974, President Nixon decided that it was time to leave the White House. Via television, he announced that his resignation would be effective at noon the next day. As he made the speech, Pat and a handful of White House employees packed the residence for the move back to San Clemente, California. official white house portrait File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... official white house portrait File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

The next morning, a televised twenty minute farewell speech to the White House staff took place in the East Room, during which the President read from Theodore Roosevelt's biography and praised his parents. Pat, Julie, and Tricia could hardly contain their tears. Pat was most upset about the cameras, because they recorded her pain, as they had at the 1960 election defeat. The first couple left the Executive Mansion with Vice President Gerald Ford and Betty Ford for Marine One, the helicopter that would carry them to Andrews Air Force Base where they would then fly to California. Angry with the public that she believed was behind her husband's undoing, Mrs. Nixon's public life largely ended the day her husband resigned from the Presidency.

Mrs. Nixon was in failing health after leaving Washington, D.C., and she suffered a stroke in 1976. She fought back against the brain injury and exercised as much as she could to regain the strength on her left side. She eventually did regain her strength.
