More than 40 years ago, Sandra Day O'Connor would shatter the ultimate glass ceiling in our country's judicial system, becoming the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Breaking glass ceilings was something Justice O'Connor did many times throughout her life, competing in a male-dominated industry with equal amounts of grace and grit, and because of that, she inspired generations to follow in her footsteps.

A private funeral service is taking place for the late Justice Sandra Day O’Connor at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.

President Joe Biden and Chief Justice John G. Roberts will be eulogizing the former Supreme Court justice.

The public paid respects on Monday while she lied in repose at the United States Supreme Court.

She died at age 93 earlier this month.

ABC15 Mornings Anchor Nick Ciletti is in Washington D.C. and will bring you continued coverage of memorial events for Justice O'Connor this week.
