The link has been corrected. The family is in shock, as her passing was sudden.

Condolences to your chapter president's family and your chapter as a whole.

R.I.P. Soror Richardson

We remembered her at the NC NAACP Humanitarian Meeting this past Saturday. I did not know she was a sister. The person that gave the tribute said her fondest memory of sister Rupert is her fondness for saying "elephants remember everything but men remember nothing." I did not know Sister Rupert but was surprised by the comments made during the tribute. Nonetheless, I hear she was a very colorful and lively person. I wish that I had opportunity to meet her.
