A funeral Mass for Geraldine Ferraro is set for Thursday morning in New York City.
Ferraro, the first woman to run for U.S. vice president on a major party ticket, died Saturday of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer. She was 75.
The funeral will be held at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer in Manhattan. It will be limited to friends and family. No press coverage will be permitted.
Ferraro’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to several charities including two multiple myeloma research foundations.
