The Reagan Foundation mourns with deep sorrow the loss of former Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the Supreme Court, today.
According to President Reagan, Sandra Day O'Connor was praised for her "fairness, intellectual capacity, and devotion to the public interest."
It can be said that Justice O'Connor embodied the American Dream in many ways. Her intelligence, self-discipline, and determination led her to become, as the Washington Post described her, "the most powerful woman in the country," despite growing up on a remote cattle ranch without electricity or running water..It was during this time that she courageously broke down barriers for women-as a practicing attorney, as the first woman to serve as a majority leader in any state senate, as a breast cancer survivor, and as the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

In appointing Justice O'Connor, President Reagan lauded her for her "temperament, fairness, intellectual capacity, and devotion to the public good." Her judicial career exemplifies these qualities, as she built a reputation for deciding each case with open-mindedness and restraint, which was evident from her judicial career. It was her conviction that equality under the law should guide the country on a wide range of challenging issues such as gender discrimination, affirmative action and religious freedom.
Those who knew Justice O'Connor best, however, will recall her love and devotion to her family and friends. Our sincerest condolences and prayers are with them during this time of loss.
