| Description | Margaret Awamura Inouye, 81, wife of U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, died today at Walter Reed Army Medical Center due to complications resulting from colon cancer, a news release said.
"I am saddened to report that my dear and lovely wife of nearly 57 years, ... passed away today ..."
the senator said in a news release. She died at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
"Maggie was recently hospitalized because an examination found small blood clots and some fluid in her right lung, and she had been undergoing a process of draining out the fluid and dissolving the blood clots," Inouye said in the release.
"This most recent medical challenge came after Maggie underwent surgery in November 2004 to remove a cancerous growth from her large intestine. Her surgeons had pronounced that operation a success.
"As she has done throughout her life, Maggie handled her difficult situation without complaint, and with dignity and grace. Although her chemotherapy treatments would leave her drained, she always had a smile for you and she retained her optimistic outlook." |
