Elizabeth Virginia "Bess" Truman (born Wallace; February 13, 1885 – October 18, 1982) was the wife of U.S. President Harry S. Truman and First Lady of the United States from 1945 to 1953.
She had known her future husband since they were children attending the same school in Independence, Missouri. As First Lady, she did not enjoy the social and political scene in Washington, and at the end of her husband's term in 1953, she was relieved to return to Independence. She currently holds the record of longest-lived First Lady and longest-lived Second Lady, at 97 years, 247 days. She died in Independence, Missouri.

Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that February 13 is the anniversary of the birth of wife of U.S. President Harry S. Truman and First Lady of the United States from 1945 to 1953 Elizabeth Virginia "Bess" Truman whose maiden name was Elizabeth Virginia Wallace.
Rest in peace Bess Truman!
She had a very good sense of humor :-)
