Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor will lie in repose at the Supreme Court for the remembrance of the public on December 18, as announced by the court’s public information office. The esteemed Justice, who served as the first woman on the court, passed away at the age of 93. The public will have the opportunity to pay their respects from 10:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. that day.
In honor of Justice O’Connor, two private services are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. The first event is a ceremony set to occur at the court at 9:30 a.m. on December 18. Following this, a private, invitation-only service will be held at the National Cathedral on December 19, where O’Connor, a lifelong Episcopalian, regularly worshipped during her time in the city.
