Muriel McBrien Kauffman was the wife, and some say the driving force behind, the founder of the drug company Marion Laboratories, Inc. In 1989, their company merged with Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals (not to be confused with the company that makes Merrell shoes) to become Marion Merrell Dow, Inc. Perhaps more interesting to baseball fans, she and her husband were the owners of the Kansas City Royals. She is buried in the garden of the Kauffman Foundation and Memorial Garden in Kansas City, Misouri.
