Betty Ford Stamps – Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Betty Ford Stamps
Forever 82¢ | Sheet Stamp Format

With this stamp, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the life of Betty Ford (1918–2011), wife of the 38th president, Gerald R. Ford, and first lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977. As first lady, Mrs. Ford won widespread admiration for her candor and support for women’s rights. Later, she courageously disclosed her battles with breast cancer and substance use disorder.

The stamp art is a detail from the official 1977 White House portrait by Felix de Cossio (1913–1999). The oil-on-canvas portrait shows Mrs. Ford dressed in a pale blue chiffon dress. The seated portrait was cropped to accommodate the stamp format.

The Betty Ford stamp is being issued in panes of 20 Forever® stamps. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
