She was 93.<\/p>\n<p>Day O\u2019Connor was a former attorney, earning her degree from Stanford Law School in 1952. While at Stanford, she met her future husband, John Jay O\u2019Connor III. The couple would go on to marry in December 1952. While her husband was drafted, Day O\u2019Connor decided to go with him to Germany and worked as a civilian attorney. Three years later, they returned to the States and settled in Arizona. Her political career began when she served as assistant Attorney General of Arizona from 1965-1969. In 1969, Day O\u2019Connor filled a vacancy in the Arizona Senate, a position she ran for and won the election for the seat the following year. By 1973, she became the first woman to serve as Arizona\u2019s or any state\u2019s majority leader. From 1975-1979 she was the Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court for Division 31, then served as Judge of the Arizona Court of Appeals from 1979-1981. Day O\u2019Connor was selected by then-President Ronald Reagan to serve as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, a seat she held from 1981-2006. After her retirement in 2006, Day O\u2019Connor continued to speak and organize conferences on issues such as judicial independence, judicial accountability, and racial equality.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ringside Report sends our condolences to Sandra Day O\u2019Connor\u2019s family during their time of grief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geoffrey Huchel Sandra Day O\u2019Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court passed away December 1, 2023, in Phoenix, Arizona from complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness.
