Concepcion Picciotto, Who Kept Vigil by White House
President Obama’s closest neighbor died on Monday, just a few days after vacating the peace vigil encampment behind the White House that she had occupied for more than 30 years in what was considered the longest political protest in American history.
The protester, Concepcion Picciotto, died in a Washington apartment she shared with three roommates not far from her Lafayette Square tent, said Schroeder Stribling, the executive director of N Street Village, which provides services to homeless women. Ms. Picciotto, who had been in declining health, was about 80.
The cause of death has not been determined, the medical examiner’s office said Wednesday.
