Early life
Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald was born on July 22, 1890 at 4 Garden Court in Boston, Massachusetts' North End neighborhood. At the time, she was a member of the Boston Common Council and former Mary Josephine "Josie" Hannon, and she was the oldest of six children born to John Francis "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald. Agnes, Thomas, John Jr., Eunice, and Frederick were among her siblings.
Her family moved to West Concord, Massachusetts, and in 1904, they converted to an Italianate/Mansard-style home in Dorchester's Ashmont Hill neighborhood, Massachusetts, where she attended the local Girls' Latin School at age 7. The home later burned down, but Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Square appears on a plaque on Welles Avenue and Harley Street. The plaque was unveiled by her son, the United States, in honor of her father. Senator Ted Kennedy on her 102nd birthday in July 1992.
Fitzgerald attended Kasteel Bloemendal, a convent school in Vaals, Netherlands, and graduated from Dorchester High School in 1906. She studied piano at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Fitzgerald earned her degree at the Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart (as it then existed) in Manhattan, an institution that did not offer degrees at the time, after being refused admission by her father to attend Wellesley College. "Not having gone to Wellesley College," Kennedy said later, was "something I'm a little sad about all my life." Rose, on the other hand, became fond of the convent school, claiming that the religious education she received became the foundation of her life.
Fitzgerald and her father went on a tour of Europe in 1908 and had a private audience with Pope Pius X at the Vatican.
Marriage and family life
Rose became interested in her teens with her future husband Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, whom she encountered when their families were holidaying in Maine. He was Patrick Joseph, Joseph Joseph, "P.J.," the elder son of businessman/politician Patrick Joseph Joseph. Jackie Kennedy (a political adversary of Honey Fitz) and Mary Augusta Hickey were among those involved in the Kennedy affair. Kennedy will go back to court Fitzgerald for more than seven years, much to her father's disapproving of him.
In a small chapel at the residence of Archbishop William O'Connell in Boston on October 7, 1914, she married Kennedy at the age of 24. They lived in a home in Brookline, Massachusetts, that is now the John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site, and then a 15-room vacation home at Hyannis Port on Cape Cod, which later became the Kennedy family's permanent base. Joseph Jr. (Jack), John (Jack), Rose (Kick), Kathleen (Kick), Eunice, Patricia (Pat), and Edward (Ted).
Joseph was a good servant of their family, but he was unfaithful. Gloria Swanson was involved in his affairs. Rose was eight months pregnant with Kathleen, Kathleen's fourth child, and she briefly returned to Joseph after her father told her that divorce was not an option. Rose, who turned a blind eye to her husband's affairs, was heavily dependent on prescriptions. Ronald Kessler discovered records for prescription tranquilizers Seconal, Placidyl, Librium, and Dalmane to calm Rose's anxiety and fear, as well as Lomotil, Bentyl, Librax, and Tagamet for her stomach.
Rose Kennedy was a strict Catholic throughout her life. Despite her 100th birthday, she rarely missed Sunday Mass and maintained an "extremely prudish" exterior. Her adherence to her Christian values often put her in conflict with her children. In her letter to Father Joseph Leonard, an Irish priest, Jacqueline Kennedy expressed her mother-in-law: "I don't think Jack's mother is too bright, and she's more likely to say a rosary than read a book."
Rose Kennedy said she was completely fulfilled as a full-time homemaker. "I looked at child rearing not only as a passion and a responsibility, but also as an exciting and challenging field in which I could bring, I think it was more aspiration and challenge for a mother than the prospect of raising a great son or daughter."
