Hillary invited her several times to the WH for various events and she refused to go. The only time that she showed up was when all the living first ladies came together at the WH to celebrate its renovation.

She's warmed up to the Clintons, particularly Bill, since he and George Sr. worked together at Jr.'s behest after Katrina. She is reputed to be very tough and to instill fear in all the daughter in laws.
