AUSTIN, Sept 4: Former Texas first lady Nellie Connally, who was riding in the limousine with President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in 1963, has died at the age of 87, a family friend said on Saturday.
Mrs Connally was found dead on Saturday morning at the desk in her Austin home where she had been writing notes, said Julian Read, who was press secretary for her husband, the late Texas Governor John Connally.
Read said she had been in good health and her death was a surprise.
