Baroness Glenys Kinnock died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday with her husband and former Labour Party leader Lord Kinnock by her side, her family said.
She served as a minister in the New Labour government and also represented Wales in the European Parliament as an MEP.
Her family, which includes Labour MP Stephen Kinnock and daughter Rachel, said they were “devastated” by her death.
Mr Kinnock, who serves as the shadow immigration minister, said he was “heartbroken” and called his mother “a truly formidable person in every single way”.
