Kennedy family matriarch Ethel Kennedy is recovering after she suffered a stroke, her family said Tuesday.
Some of her children and grandchildren released a brief statement on social media, saying in part, “Unfortunately, on Thursday morning she suffered a stroke in her sleep. She was brought to an area hospital, where she is now receiving treatment. She is comfortable, she is getting the best care possible and she is surrounded by family.”
She’s a mother of 11 children, including former Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Kennedy II, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Robert Kennedy Jr., who suspended his bid for president in August. They said she spent time on the water – presumably near the family’s Hyannis Port compound – and enjoyed many lunches and dinners with family.
"She loved Cape Cod and fully embraced being a Cape Codder," said Wendy Norcross, the museum's executive director, describing Ethel as having an"indomitable spirit and can-do attitude," as well as being a fun-loving mom.
