Kara Kennedy, Daughter of Ted Kennedy, Passes Away

Kara Kennedy, daughter of former U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, passed away Friday at age of 51. She was working out in a Washington D.C.-area gym at the time. “She’s with dad,” Patrick Kennedy, her brother and Congressman from Rhode Island, said. Their father died in 2009 at age 77 after battling a brain tumor. She was the eldest of Ted’s three children.

Kara, who also helped work on her father’s senatorial campaigns, was also a cancer survivor. In 2003, she had a malignant tumor removed from her lungs.

Her heart gave out.” Kara is survived by her husband Michael Allen and two teenage children.
