💔 It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Secretary, Carolyn Hankins-Page.

Carolyn was a fierce advocate, a devoted Life Member of the NAACP, and a shining example of servant leadership. She served passionately as our ACT-SO Chair, uplifting countless youth to reach their fullest potential. Beyond the Branch, Carolyn’s impact extended through her leadership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, her service in Top Ladies of Distinction, and her incredible spirit as a dedicated fitness enthusiast who competed in numerous races with unwavering determination.

Carolyn embodied dedication, commitment, and loyalty in all that she did. Her tenacious spirit, radiant smile, and genuine heart touched everyone who had the honor of knowing her.

We will miss her dearly, but her legacy of service and love for community will live on through the many lives she inspired. 💐
