Educator, collector, and skydiver, Verneida I. Britton , 82, of Cincinnati, passed away on March 28, 2021, after a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Due to COVID-19 safety restrictions, a private family service will be held at Spring Grove Cemetery on April 10, but it will be streamed live. Additionally, the  National Underground Railroad Freedom Center will hold a private memorial service for docents, with Aminah Robinson 's "RagGonNons" as the backdrop, in recognition of her service as a docent. The family requests that memorial gifts be made by  purchasing a Freedom Center membership.
