Marguerite Frances Claverie Oswald Ekdahl (July 19, 1907 – January 17, 1981), also known as Marguerite Oswald, was the mother of Lee Harvey Oswald. After the Kennedy assassination and subsequent murder of her son, 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.
