An African-American woman who quit school in the 6th grade to assist family and worked the family business (laundry) for seventy-five years. Upon her retirement in 1996 (age 86), despite her menial occupation, she established a trust through which, upon her death, the larger portion of her life’s savings (approx. $150,000) would be left to the The University of Southern Mississippi to provide scholarships for deserving students in need of financial assistance.
