American newsmaker, the First Lady of Texas from 1963 to 1969. She was the wife of John Connally, who served as Governor of Texas and later as Secretary of the Treasury.
She and her husband were passengers in the Presidential limousine carrying President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on 22 November 1963. The President and Governor Connally were shot, resulting in fatal wounds to the President and serious wounds to Governor Connally. Mrs. Connally got down in the car to take care of her husband, who had slumped after the second shot.
In her 2003 book "From Love Field—Our Final Hours with John F. Kennedy," Connally shared her personal diary of the event written in the days immediately after the assassination.
