Biden, Obama, Clinton Expected At Ethel Kennedy Memorial Service Today

A memorial service for Kennedy family matriarch Ethel Kennedy will be held in Washington, DC today.  The 96-year-old died last week after suffering a stroke days earlier.  Her funeral was held in Massachusetts on Monday. 

 

According to the White House, President Joe Biden will deliver a eulogy at today's service at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.  Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are also expected to be in attendance. 

 

Ethel Kennedy's late husband, former U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, was assassinated in California in 1968 while running for President. 

 

She leaves behind nine children, including Robert F. Kennedy, Junior who dropped out of the presidential race recently, throwing his support to Donald Trump.
