The Guardian|October 11, 2024
Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Senator Robert F Kennedy who raised their 11 children after he was assassinated and remained dedicated to social causes and the family's legacy for decades thereafter, has died at the age of 96, her family said yesterday.
Tributes paid as social activist Ethel Kennedy dies aged 96

Kennedy had been in hospital after suffering a stroke in her sleep on 3 October, her family said. "It is with our hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our amazing grandmother,” Joe Kennedy III posted on X. “She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week.”

The Kennedy matriarch, whose children were Kathleen, Joseph II, Robert Jr, David, Courtney, Michael, Kerry, Christopher, Max, Douglas and Rory, was one of the last remaining members of a generation that included President John F Kennedy. Her family said she had recently enjoyed seeing many of her relatives.

“She has had a great summer and transition into fall,” said a family statement, issued after she was hospitalised. “Every day she enjoyed time with her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren ... It has been a gift to all of us and to her as well.”

A millionaire's daughter who married the future senator and attorney general in 1950, Kennedy had endured more death by the age of 40 than most would in a lifetime.
