Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, died on Tuesday at the age of 61 after losing a six-year battle with cancer during which she won widespread admiration for her tenacity and candour about the disease.
Elizabeth Edwards will be buried Saturday in a private service at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh, next to her oldest son, who was killed 14 years ago in a traffic accident.
