Many of you know Michelle as a founding member of the National Harbor Chapter. She served for many years as the chapter president as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the NFB of Maryland. Michelle also was well known for her beautiful and powerful voice and was a prominent member of our national Performing Arts Division. Michelle worked for the “phone company” and shared hilarious stories. Later, she became a 508 expert for the USDA. Michelle’s laugh was big and boisterous, and she unleashed it often. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Michelle had several health complications in recent years. In November 2021, she had a fall which doctors believe was due to neurological challenges. She went into the hospital in early November, and though her health seemed to be improving such that she transferred to a rehabilitation center this past Thursday, she succumbed today.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Her husband Jerome shared that she talked about the NFB often and was so grateful to those of you who were part of her life. Please keep Jerome and the rest of Michelle’s family in your thoughts and prayers.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We will share information about arrangements as soon as we receive them. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Yours,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ronza<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12pt">Ronza Othman, </span></b><span style="font-size:12pt">President</span><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">National Federation of the Blind of Maryland<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">443-426-4110<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Pronouns: she, her, hers<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
