Human rights advocate Ethel Kennedy died on October 10 at age 96. She was the wife of the late Robert Kennedy and the sister-in-law of President John F. Kennedy. Robert and Ethel married in 1950 18 years before his assassination and shared 11 children. Ethel was three months pregnant at the time of her husband’s death in 1968.
She never married again and raised her children as a single mother who devoted much of her time to social issues. Many gathered at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle to bid Ethel Kennedy farewell during her funeral on October 16, including dear friend Stevie Wonder.
Among the attendees were family, friends, dignitaries, and performers who wanted to pay their respects to a woman who helped make the world a better place.
