On September 5, 1997, Mother Teresa, Albanian born Indian nun and founder of Missionaries of Charity, died of cardiac arrest at the age of 87. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. From the article:
"Nun and missionary Mother Teresa, known in the Catholic church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, devoted her life to caring for the sick and poor. Born in Macedonia to parents of Albanian-descent and having taught in India for 17 years, Mother Teresa experienced her "call within a call" in 1946. Her order established a hospice; centers for the blind, aged and disabled; and a leper colony.
In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. She died in September 1997 and was beatified in October 2003. In December 2015, Pope Francis recognized a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa, clearing the way for her to be canonized on September 4, 2016."

Although it may be controversial or offensive with religious folks, this is still worth the read.
