Hillary Clinton Family Life:

The household of the Politician has been known to be very supportive of her throughout her political career. Now, let’s tell you more about them.

About Hillary Clinton’s Father:

Hugh Ellsworth Rodham (April 2, 1911 – April 7, 1993) was an American businessman. He was born to an English father (a coal miner) and a Welsh mother. Huge Rodham was very fond of his children, as pictured below.

In World War II, Rodham served in the United States Navy. After the war, he established a successful career in the textile supply industry.

Rodham entered politics as he once unsuccessfully ran for Chicago alderman as a Democratic-leaning independent in 1947. His daughter Hillary took it off from there. Huge died on April 7, 1993 (aged 82).

Hillary Clinton’s Mother:

Mrs. Clinton’s mother, Dorothy Emma Howell, was born into poverty and neglect on June 4, 1919. Below is a photo of Dorothy and her daughter, Hillary.

Dorothy’s parents fought violently in the house in Chicago that they shared with four other families.

Her father, a firefighter, was granted a divorce and custody of the two children after Dorothy’s mother never showed up in court to fight accusations of abandonment and abuse.

Dorothy and her little sister were sent on a cross-country train to live with their grandparents in California. Dorothy was 8; her sister was 3.

Their grandmother was old-fashioned and strict. She preferred black Victorian dress and tolerated no disobedience — Dorothy was not allowed to attend parties or have visitors.

After she went trick-or-treating one Halloween, she was confined to her bedroom for a year, let out only to go to school.

At 14, Dorothy escaped her grandmother’s strict domain for the unforgiving America of the Great Depression.

She cooked, cleaned, and nannied for a family in San Gabriel, California – in exchange for room, board, and $3 a week. She lived in near abject poverty, but in that household, Dorothy learned what family was.

With her adoptive family’s support and help from influential teachers, she eventually graduated from high school. She died on November 1st, 2011 (aged 92).

Hillary Clinton Brothers:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s two brothers, Tony and Hugh Rodham. Tony Rodham, pictured below, has a gold mining venture and a cosmetics company in California.

Hugh Rodham, another business executive pictured below, is the middle sibling. He is often called “Hughie”.

Hugh Rodham was once reported to have the habit of treating the White House with no respect. Hughie would show up in the worst outfits. … He would be wearing shorts with golf balls on them and a T-shirt.

He would sit in the Solarium, and it was reported that Hillary wouldn’t bat an eyelash as she was on political appointment at the time.

People would come all dressed up for dinner, and Hughie would waddle up in his shorts and fall asleep,” McCoy was quoted saying.
