Eunice Mary Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the middle child of Joseph P. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy's nine children, got a B.A. from Stanford, married R. Sargent Shriver, Jr., and had five children. Beyond all that, looming large in her legacy, are the Special Olympics, which she founded in honor of her sister Rosemary ("Rosie").
A website in her honor is here; the New York Times obituary is here; and the CNN obituary is here; a tribute by her daughter Maria Shriver is here.
