Camelot is Crying Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy pased Oct. 10. She was 96.

Ms Ethel endured the assassination of her husband and other losses to emerge as a stoic and strong-willed protector of the legacy of one of the country’s foremost political families, died Oct. 10. She was 96.
Her grandson Joe Kennedy III, a former Democratic congressman from Massachusetts who currently serves as U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, announced her death on X. The cause was complications from a stroke that she suffered last week, he wrote in the post, which did not say where she died.

Mrs. Kennedy, the scion of a wealthy Catholic family and mother of 11 children, was a steadying presence in the tragedy-scarred Kennedy family and in the life of her husband, who served as U.S. attorney general and as a Democratic senator from New York. In recent months, she watched as many in the Kennedy clan spoke out against her son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., after he dropped his presidential bid as an independent and pledged support to Republican Donald Trump.
