The 96-year-old enjoyed a great summer and start of fall, spending time with her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandkids, getting out on the water and going out to eat in the weeks and months before suffering the stroke … the family says.
Ethel has 11 kids, including Kathleen, Joe and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. … and she’s the sister-in-law of former President John F. Kennedy.
She was pregnant when RFK was assassinated while running for president in 1968 and never remarried.
A year after RFK’s assassination, Ethel founded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit in his honor.
Ethel is also a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Freedom … she was presented with the nation’s highest honor for a civilian back in 2014, when Barack Obama was President.
