Does anyone remember her?  The first wife of the late senator Ted Kennedy,  She lived through the scandals, his drinking, womanizing, etc. She also had a drinking issue.  

She passed away in her sleep at 89 years.

I didn't know she was still alive.  She led a sad life when she was with Ted Kennedy.  May she RIP.

I didn't realize, @Puzzle Piece , thanks for posting.  Always felt bad for her-- her struggles with alcohol, and the heartless way she was used.  A talented pianist with a lifelong interest in music.  Radiant, lovely.  RIP.

It seems like most of the Kennedy women, at least of that generation, put up with a lot from the men they married.

She was a true beauty.  Living in that family, especially as one married in, was definitely not easy.

I didn't realize she was still alive either.  I see that Ethel died last October.

Agree with previous posters--those women who married into the Kennedy clan put up with a lot.  I wonder if it was worth it to them.

She had a tough life.  She was so beautiful, intelligent, and talented.  Alcohol unfortunatley contributed to a lot of her problems.   RIP.

Of course we remember her.  She battled her demons and won.  Joan was way too good for Teddy.
