Ethel Kennedy, a human rights advocate and widow of Senator Robert F Kennedy, is recovering from a stroke she suffered last week, according to her grandson. Following the stroke, which occurred during her sleep, she was taken to an area hospital for treatment. Ethel, at the age of 96, is under excellent care, comfortable, and surrounded by family—reflecting her strength and resilience as she navigates this health challenge.
After becoming a widow at 40 due to her husband's assassination, Ethel founded the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights non-profit in his honor. Her advocacy, particularly for human rights and gun control, earned her the Congressional Medal of Freedom in 2014. At the time, President Obama highlighted her unparalleled love for family and devotion to the nation, reinforcing her legacy as a strong woman who has led a fulfilling life.
