Former Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy III informed about his ‘incredible grandmother’, “She is, as you may know, a strong woman who has led a remarkably fulfilling life. She os comfortable, she is getting the best care possible, and she is surrounded by family. We are here looking after her. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We ask that you respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

Joe also shared that ” Ethel spent the summer with her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was able to get out on the water, visit the friends, and enjoy many lunches and dinners with the family. It has been a gift to all of us and to her as well. Unfortunately on Thursday morning she suffered stroke in her sleep. She was brought to an area hospital where she is now receiving the treatment.”

Her daughter, Rory Kennedy also confirmed the same.
