After her husband's death, Kennedy continued to live at the family home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, Virginia until December 2009, when it was sold for $8.25 million.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
