Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Joan Kennedy, Kennedy Family Survivor, dies at 89
Caption: Joan Kennedy, Kennedy Family Survivor, dies at 89. Joan B. Kennedy, ex-wife of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, died at 89, after battling family crises and personal struggles. She married Ted Kennedy in 1958, becoming part of the famed Kennedy family. Joan was deeply affected by the assassinations of JFK and RFK, which shaped her life. Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick scandal marked a turning point in their marriage. Joan had three children with Ted, but miscarriages and marital strain led to their divorce. A campaign slogan in 1980, "Vote for Jimmy Carter, Free Joan Kennedy," reflected their separation. Joan was a model and trained pianist, performing at rallies and touring after her divorce. Patrick Kennedy honored his mother as a loving, talented, and inspiring advocate for mental health. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
