Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy and mother of former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is currently receiving hospital treatment after suffering a stroke last week. The news was shared by her grandson, Joe Kennedy III, on Tuesday.
Joe Kennedy III provided an update on Ethel Kennedy's recent activities, mentioning that she had been enjoying time with her family, including her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Unfortunately, she experienced a stroke in her sleep last Thursday and was promptly taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
At 96 years old, Ethel Kennedy is known for her environmental and human rights activism. She played a significant role in founding the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization, which continues to advocate for causes championed by her late husband, Robert F. Kennedy. In recognition of her contributions, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2014.
Joe Kennedy III expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and requested thoughts, prayers, and privacy for the Kennedy family during this challenging time.
We wish Ethel Kennedy a speedy recovery and send our best wishes to her and her loved ones.
