Basically, it boils down to

1. She was world-famous.

2. In events like that, people tend to select one person or a small few people who stood out to be the symbol of memorial.

Like the Iwo Jima Memorial, which is dedicated to all US Marines who've died since 1775. It depicts six specific Marines because it is based on a photograph of six Marines raising a flag during WW2. That photo made them stand out as a symbol.
