Probably Eleanor Roosevelt. Her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only president to serve four terms. And while he died in the midst of his fourth, Eleanor was first lady throughout his first three terms (12 years) and several years into his fourth. It should be noted that no first lady will ever serve for that long again. In 1951, the constitution was amended so that presidents may not serve more than two terms.
