Patricia Brown: "The organizations that she was representing from those three different positions, never a paid position, always as a volunteer. She was a PTA individual, present in other PTAs for years. She took it to a state level and to a national level. She was the library association. She was NAACP. She was Urban League. She was LEOC. She was—oh, can I name them. I’m thinking how they sent the different wreaths at our funeral because I didn’t even know she was involved in a lot of these organizations, but that’s the type of person she was. She was touching wherever she could touch,in order to help people."
