Kyle Kennedy, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, died Sept. 21 at her home in Westwood, Massachusetts, according to an obituary published by Burke Funeral Homes. She was 42. The Westwood town clerk told The Guardian that her cause of death was pending.

Kennedy, the daughter of Michael Kennedy and Victoria Gifford Kennedy, worked as an educator and disability-rights advocate. After earning degrees from Georgetown University and Pace University, she taught in New York City public schools through Teach for America. She later received a master’s degree in education policy and management from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and worked on education reform for disadvantaged children.

In 2020, Kennedy suffered a severe spinal cord injury that resulted in long-term paralysis and other medical challenges, her obituary said. She subsequently advocated for people with disabilities, including testifying before the Massachusetts state legislature about discrimination in health care for disabled people.

Kennedy married Liam Kerr in 2012, and they had three children. She is survived by her sons Conor and Declan, her former husband, her mother, her brother Michael, her sister Rory, and several nieces and nephews. A private funeral service was held.
