| Info | Lenore LaFount Romney (1909 – 1998) was a former First Lady of Michigan and a Michigan politician in her own right.
She was the wife of former Michigan Governor George W. Romney, having married him in 1931, and the mother of Mitt Romney, who was elected Governor of Massachusetts after her death. She had three other children: Lynn, Jane, and G. Scott Romney.
An aspiring actress, she married George Romney while he was a speechwriter in Washington, D.C. She later relocated to Los Angeles for her career, taking her husband with her. Later, her husband's career required the couple's relocation to Michigan, where he worked as an automobile executive.
When her husband was elected Governor of Michigan, she became the state's first lady. She moved back to Washington in 1969, when her husband became the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the administration of President Richard Nixon. Mrs. Romney later ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate from Michigan.
