Patricia Buckley the wife of William F Buckley and the "Den Mother" of the conservative movement died today. She died of septic poisoning following a vascular operation on her left leg.
Pat had been married to WFB since July 1950 and is mother of the acclaimed writer Christopher Buckley.
She's been a core part of the National Review family — hosting editorial dinners in her home, among many other intrusions — since its conception and her loss will be felt by many. Young Americans For Freedom was founded at their home in Sharron Connecticut.
Condolences to Bill and Christopher and the entire Buckley family.
