Janet Norton Lee Bouvier Auchincloss (December 3, 1907 – July 22, 1989) was an American socialite. She was the mother of former United States First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill. She often stood in for her daughter Jacqueline as hostess for official White House functions. She was the mother-in-law of United States President John F. Kennedy.
Marriages and children
Lee was married three times. Her first husband was John Vernou "Black Jack" Bouvier III. They were married on July 7, 1928, and had two daughters: Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Bouvier (July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) and Caroline Lee Bouvier (born March 3, 1933). Bouvier's womanizing and drinking led to a separation in 1936, a brief reconciliation for a few months in 1937, and then a divorce in 1940.[1]
Lee's second husband was Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr., an attorney and Standard Oil heir; she was his third wife. They were married on June 21, 1942,[2] and had two children: Janet Jennings Auchincloss (1945–1985) and James Lee Auchincloss, born in 1947.[3]
Her third marriage, after Auchincloss' death, was to investment broker Bingham "Booch" Morris on October 25, 1979. Morris was a childhood friend.[4] Though they separated in 1981, they remained married until her death eight years later.
Death
Lee died of complications arising from Alzheimer's disease on July 22, 1989 in Newport, Rhode Island at the age of 81.[5] Her funeral was held at the Trinity Church in Newport on July 28 and she is buried next to her second husband, Hugh D. Auchincloss, at the Island Cemetery in Newport.[6][7]
