Federation Family,

I am so very sorry to share that Jean Faulkner, long-time and current
President of the Greater Cumberland Chapter of the National Federation of
the Blind of Maryland passed away suddenly yesterday.  Jean was 78.  Jean
has worked tirelessly to keep the chapter going for decades.  She also had a
long, illustrious career with Blind Industries and Services of Maryland
(BISM) in their Cumberland plant, where she worked for 43 years before
retiring a few years ago.  

 

Jean was the recipient of the 2019 NFB of Maryland Kenneth Jernigan Award.
She was an avid cruiser, and she recently joined and became an expert in the
use of Facebook.

 

This is a devastating loss for our organization and our family.  Our
thoughts and prayers go out to her son and all who knew and loved her.

 

Yours,

Ronza

 

 

Ronza Othman, President

National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

443-426-4110

Pronouns: she, her, hers

 

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
