BOSTON - Kara Kennedy Allen, the only daughter of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, has died of an apparent heart attack on Friday evening. She was 51 years old.
Kennedy Allen, a Tufts University graduate, battled lung cancer in the past, but her cancer had been in remission since 2003.
In 2009, a couple of weeks before her father Senator Edward Kennedy died, she accepted the Medal of Freedom on behalf of her father, who was home battling cancer.
She was on the board of national trustees at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.
Kara is survived by two brothers, Ted Kennedy Jr., and former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy.
