Ethel Kennedy, who lost her husband, Robert F. Kennedy, and brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy, to assassins' bullets, and who channeled her grief into raising her 11 children and pursuing a lifetime of public service, died Thursday. She was 96. Kennedy died from complications from a stroke she suffered last week, former Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., a grandson, said in a statement posted on X.

While Jackie Kennedy built the Camelot myth, Ethel Kennedy lived the messy reality—11 kids, unwavering faith, and 56 years fighting Bobby’s fight after his assassination. She never remarried, never controlled her image, and never stopped believing. The Kennedy curse took two of her sons, but Ethel outlasted them all, dying at 96 in 2024—the last Kennedy wife standing who never sold the story. #EthelKennedy #BobbyKennedy #KennedyFamily #RFKLegacy #KennedyWives
