Chris Kennedy, the founder and chairman of Top Box Foods, is mourning the profound loss of his mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away at the age of 96. Ethel, a prominent figure in American social and political life, was not only the widow of Senator Robert F.
Kennedy but also a steadfast advocate for human rights and social justice. Her passing marks the end of an era for the Kennedy family and the numerous causes she championed throughout her lifetime.
As one of Ethel's eleven children, Chris has fond memories of her warmth, resilience, and unwavering commitment to their family and community. Growing up in the Kennedy household,
he witnessed firsthand Ethel's dedication to serving others. She instilled in her children the values of compassion, justice, and civic responsibility, encouraging them to pursue meaningful work that benefits society.
Under her influence, Chris went on to create Top Box Foods, a nonprofit organization focused on providing affordable, nutritious food to underserved communities, embodying the principles Ethel held dear.
In a heartfelt tribute, Chris expressed his gratitude for having Ethel as his mother, stating, “Her spirit and passion for helping others will forever guide us. She taught us that our lives should be dedicated to service,
compassion, and making a difference in the world.” He emphasized that her legacy of activism and humanitarianism would continue through the efforts of the family and the many lives she touched.
Ethel Kennedy’s impact extended far beyond her immediate family. As a founding member of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization, she worked tirelessly to advocate for those marginalized by society. Her efforts in promoting social justice, civil rights, and public health have left an indelible mark on the world.
As the Kennedy family navigates this difficult time, they are comforted by the memories of Ethel’s extraordinary life and her unwavering dedication to creating a more just and equitable society. Her legacy will undoubtedly live on through her children and the countless individuals inspired by her life’s work.
