Rancher and philanthropist
|
Sarita Kenedy East (1889–1961) was a rancher and philanthropist from South Texas. She played an active role in the management of her half of La Parra Ranch, and after her brother had become ill, she also leased and oversaw the management of his half of the ranch. East was called patrona for her role in ensuring the health, education, and well-being of the ranch employees and their families. She was a generous philanthropist, particularly concerning Catholic charities. East received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal from Pope Pius XII in 1952, in recognition of her service and donations to the church. Before she died, she donated $300,000 (equivalent to $3,235,959 in 2024) to establish a monastery in Chile for Trappist monks.
