[Nfbofsc] Passing of a beloved Federationist

[David Houck]

Dear Federation Family:

 

The wife of Dr. Donald Capps, Betty Capps, has just passed away at 2:30 p.m.
on December 17, 2018.  As many of you are aware, Mrs. Capps was not doing
well for some time and recently went into hospice.  Dr. and Mrs. Capps spent
their lives improving the federation by organizing local chapters,
strengthening the NFB of SC, working to pass legislation in SC and
nationally, organizing state affiliates and overseeing the establishment and
growth of the Federation Center of the Blind in Columbia, SC in 1961 and
Rocky Bottom Retreat and Conference Center of the Blind in 1979.  They
represented the blind well on these boards including the national board.
Dr. and Mrs. Capps attended meetings of the World Blind Union and they
served the blind for over a half century.  Please be in prayer for Donald
Capps, his son Craig and other family members at this time.  More details
will come as arrangements are made for Betty Capps.  She was as much a part
of his success as he was as she was always by his side.

 

Frank Coppel

President, NFB of SC
