Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth Edwards, who had recently decided to stop treatment, has passed away at her home in North Carolin on Tuesday (December 7) after her six-year battle against breast cancer. She was 61.
Elizabeth Edwards was first diagnosed with cancer in 2004, and learned that the cancer had returned in 2007.
John and Elizabeth tied the knot in 1977 and had three children, Cate, Emma Claire and Jack. Her eldest child, Wade, 16, was killed in a car accident (1996).
Aside from battling the big C, Elizabeth Edwards is also dealing with her husband’s infidelity with Rielle Hunter, with whom he had a love child.
Prayers for Elizabeth Edwards!
