Her brief tenure as only the second woman to run the department came after years of service within the Reagan administration.
Her stepson, Philip Korologos, said the cause of her death, in a hospital, was complications of meningitis.
Her elevation to the Cabinet was seen as the work of Howard H. Baker Jr., a former Republican senator from Tennessee who had been brought into the White House as chief of staff in early 1987 and who wielded significant influence over Cabinet nominations. Unlike the more ideological conservatives who dominated the administration early on, Baker was a pragmatic insider, and he chose Korologos because she fit the same mold.
And she was unafraid to take on one of Washington’s most pugnacious conservative commentators, John McLaughlin — her husband at the time. After graduating with a degree in English from Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York, in 1963, she worked in public relations in Manhattan for several years, married William Dore in 1965 and later returned to Marymount to run the college’s office of alumnae relations.
Nixon’s resignation drove her back out of government, this time to the chemical company Union Carbide, where she worked as the assistant director of government relations. In 2000 she married Tom Korologos, a Salt Lake City native who served as U.S. ambassador to Belgium from 2004 to 2007. He survives her. Along with her stepson, she is also survived by her stepdaughters, Paula Cale Lisbe and Ann Bazzarone; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandson.
