DescriptionANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The widow of former Vice President Spiro Agnew has died. Judy Agnew was 91.

Agnew's daughter Susan Sagle said Friday her mother died on June 20 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., with her four children present.

Sagle says her mother's health had been deteriorating since 2005 and she developed pneumonia.

The wife of the man who became known as President Richard Nixon's strident point man stayed out of politics, focusing on family life.

"I think she had a very quiet and enjoyable life with friends and family and stayed very much involved with her family, which was the most important part of her life," Sagle said in a telephone interview Friday.

Former U.S. Rep. Helen Bentley, a Maryland Republican and longtime friend, described her as a pleasant woman.
