Their passing inspired immense public mourning. “It’s very interesting when you lose these people that you love so much and also you’re filled with awe that they’re beloved by everybody,” Hager told PEOPLE last year. The couple, as matriarch and patriarch of a political dynasty that included two presidents, were no less dedicated at home.

Hal was “the first baby that won’t get to meet these people that were such an important part of my life,” Hager told PEOPLE in November. “What a beautiful blessing and what a beautiful thing that she did so that all three of my kids will have made,” Hager added then. “[Hal] will never meet her, but they’re so ingrained, I mean, literally in this case, in the fabric of our family — that he’ll have a stocking that his great-grandmother sewed.”
