Eunice Mary Kennedy Shriver (July 10, 1921 - August 11, 2009) was an American philanthropist and a member of the Kennedy family, sister of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, U.S. Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy, and U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith, sister-in-law of Jacqueline Kennedy as well as the mother-in-law of Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 1953, she married Sargent Shriver, who was the United States Ambassador to France and was the Democratic nominee for Vice President of the United States in 1972. They had five children together: Robert, Maria, Timothy, Mark, and Anthony. Eunice became executive vice president of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation in 1957. She shifted the organization's focus from Catholic charities to research on the causes of intellectual disabilities, and humane ways to treat them. This interest eventually culminated in the Special Olympics movement. Because of the close relationship with her sister Rosemary, who was intellectually disabled, Eunice became a long-time advocate for children's health and disability issues, and championed the creation of the President's Panel on Mental Retardation in 1961. She was a key founder of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and also helped to establish numerous other university programs, government initiatives, health-care facilities, and support service networks throughout the country. In 1962, she founded Camp Shriver, a camp for children with special needs that was held on her Maryland farm. Camp Shriver later evolved into the Special Olympics (founded in 1968) Eunice was awarded the nation's highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1984 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan for her work on behalf of persons with disabilities. In 1988, she received the Laetare Medal, considered the highest award for American Catholics, by the University of Notre Dame. In 1990, she was awarded the Eagle Award from the United States Sports Academy. For her work in nationalizing the Special Olympics, Eunice received the Civitan International World Citizenship Award. Her advocacy on this issue has also earned her other awards and recognitions, including honorary degrees from numerous universities. She is the second American and only woman to appear on a US coin while still living, and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2008, she received the Foremother Award from the National Center for Health Research for her lifetime achievements. In 2009, the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in Washington, D.C., unveiled an historic portrait of her, the first portrait the NPG has ever commissioned of an individual who had not served as a U.S. president or First Lady. The portrait depicts her with four Special Olympics athletes and one Best Buddies participant. After suffering a stroke and broken hip in 2005, she died 4 years later at the age of 88. She is recognized throughout the world for her efforts on behalf of persons with intellectual disabilities, and her most lasting legacy is changing the world for the mentally retarded.
