The family confirmed her death with a statement on Twitter.

“Today, we lost a cherished member of our family, my mother-in-law Jeane Argo. A wonderful mother to my wife and grandmother to our daughters, I see much of her beauty and joy in them,” Gov. Kemp said on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

First Lady Marty Kemp wrote, “She blessed those in her life for an amazing 92 years and was a guiding presence in our family. My mother carefully tended to all those she loved, and she was my father’s greatest supporter throughout his successful career in business and public service for his fellow Georgians.”

“Jeane Argo’s grandchildren affectionately called her by the nickname ‘Goose.’ Today, she spread her wings to fly to Heaven. We take comfort in knowing we will be with her again in that joyous place one day, and until then, we will cherish her memory and continue to be inspired by her love and beauty,” she continued.

Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
