Joan Mondale, who built a reputation as a national cultural arts advocate while her husband was vice president, has died.
Her family issued a statement through their church saying she died Monday afternoon with family by her side.
Mondale was so passionate about the arts that she was nicknamed "Joan of Art." She herself was an avid potter when her husband Walter, then a Democratic U.S. senator from Minnesota, was elected Jimmy Carter's vice president in 1976.
