Jean Kennedy Smith, a former U.S. ambassador to Ireland and the last surviving sibling of President John F. Kennedy, died Wednesday night in Manhattan, her daughter said. She was 92.
"She lived an amazing life," her daughter Kym Smith told NBC News in a statement Thursday.
Kennedy was born on Feb. 20, 1928 in Boston, Massachusetts to Rose and Joseph Kennedy.
She moved to New York City after marrying transportation executive Stephen E. Smith in 1956. They had four children together.
Her siblings included older brother Joseph Kennedy Jr., who was killed during World War II; Kathleen Kennedy, who died in a 1948 plane crash; President Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963 and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was killed in 1968.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, the youngest of the Kennedy siblings, died of brain cancer in August 2009, the same month their sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver died.
