Beverly Jean LaHaye, the founder of Concerned Women for America, died Sunday, the organization announced. She was 94.
Raised in an evangelical household, LaHaye attended Bob Jones University, where she met ministerial student Tim LaHaye, a veteran of World War II. They would go on to have four children, according to her obituary.
LaHaye believed Friedan's goal was to undermine the American family and fought back by forming the Concerned Women for America in San Diego, turning it into a national organization within two years, according to her obituary. She spoke out on behalf of support for Israel, the life of the unborn, the protection of marriage, and gay rights. She also assisted displaced refugees in Nicaragua, providing aid at refugee stations in Costa Rica, according to her obituary.
In 2016, she was recognized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition with the "Winston Churchill Lifetime Achievement Award." In 2023 La Haye was named one of the 50 greatest pro-life leaders in the past 50 years, according to her obituary.
