She earned a master’s degree in business administration and doctorate in education at Temple, and worked closely for years with the Rev. Leon H. Sullivan at Zion Baptist Church on North Broad Street.
She helped state education officials and school administrators navigate thorny issues on accreditation, finances, staffing, and enrollment in the 1970s and ‘80s.
She described her seminars in a 1981 Daily News article as “a multi-media instructional approach to explain what a computer is, how it works, and how the computer is used to help solve problems not only in business and science but in classrooms and offices.” She also taught business classes at CCP in the 1970s and Temple in the late 1980s.
She was then introduced to top officials at the National Technical Association, and she worked for a decade as its executive director. From 1990 to 1999, she increased membership and corporate support, and developed mentoring and outreach programs for scientists, engineers, and students. Eight times she traveled with Sullivan to summits in Africa. “Her faith was her guiding compass,” her family said in a tribute. Her husband, Lonnie, said: “She was good for my heart and soul.”
She graduated from VSU in 1956 and earned her master’s degree in 1964 and doctorate in 1976 at Temple. She started as a high school teacher in Portsmouth, Va., and practicum supervisor for new teachers at Norfolk State University.
