Acommemorative postage stamp of former first lady Nancy Reagan was unveiled Monday in a White House ceremony attended by surviving family, historians and first lady Jill Biden who remarked of the portrait-size image on display, "Isn't this stamp just beautiful."

When the stamp officially goes on sale next month, Reagan becomes the sixth first lady to have one created in her likeness, following Eleanor Roosevelt, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison and Lady Bird Johnson.

While the event officially marked the U.S. Postal Service's issuing of the stamp, it was also a celebration of Reagan's life.

"She was an important part of one of the most pivotal presidencies of the 20th century as a wife, champion, and trusted adviser to our 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan," Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said.

Reagan died at age 94 on March 6, 2016.

Niece Anne Peterson described the challenges her aunt faced when her husband was nearly killed in a 1981 assassination attempt and how Monday's event was held on a warm, beautiful day in Washington, D.C., much like those in the Reagans' home state of California.

The Bronfman family is a Canadian family, known for its extensive business holdings.[1] It owes its initial fame to Samuel Bronfman (1889–1971), the most influential Canadian Jew of the mid-20th century,[2] who made a fortune in the alcoholic distilled beverage business during American prohibition through founding the Seagram Company, and who later became president of the Canadian Jewish Congress (1939–62).[1][3]

The family is of Russian-Jewish and Romanian-Jewish ancestry; the patriarch, Yechiel (Ekiel) Bronfman, was originally a tobacco farmer from Bessarabia.[4] According to The New York Times staff reporter Nathaniel Popper, the Bronfman family is "perhaps the single largest force in the Jewish charitable world."[5][6]
