Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 'RBG' was a frequent visitor and favorite in the Bay Area in recent years

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg visited the Bay Area multiple times in her final years, leaving lasting impressions for all of those who were lucky enough to see her speak.

Ginsburg died Friday of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer, the court announced this evening.

She was first appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. A champion of women's rights, Ginsburg was the second woman appointed to the nation's highest court.

"Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG," former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday evening.

Ginsburg died at her home in Washington.

California State Senator Scott Wiener tweeted Friday night that a candlelight vigil would be held for Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 7 p.m. at Harvey Milk Plaza.
