Marguerite Frances Claverie Oswald Ekdahl, also known as Marguerite Oswald, was the mother of Lee Harvey Oswald. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy and her son's murder, Oswald maintained her son's innocence and claimed that he was an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency. She created a shrine in her home to honor his life and military service, and frequently promoted conspiracy theories regarding the assassination. She wrote a booklet titled Aftermath of an Execution: The Burial and Final Rites of Lee Harvey Oswald, which was never published.
