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.
