Roberta McCain, 106, attends son John McCain’s Washington services
John McCain’s mother, Roberta, is attending the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol Friday to help say goodbye to her son, and then, after attending services at the Washington National Cathedral on Saturday, she will see him buried at his beloved U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis on Sunday.
She’s 106 years old.
That she should live so long and be so strong at her age is perhaps no surprise given what her son has said about her character.
And it helps explain him as well.
