ATLANTA - Coretta Scott King, the 78-year-old widow of civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, died on Tuesday, former Atlanta mayor Andrew Jackson Young Jr. told NBC News.

King had been recovering at home since suffering a stroke and heart attack in August.

Rest in peace her soul.

RIP Mrs. King and prayers and thoughts with the King children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends.

Mrs. King was the guest speaker at my sister Retha's college graduation at Anderson University (IN) in June 1986.
