In Memoriam: Ms. Audrey Jones By Bro. Matthew Johnson
On June 1, 2017, a beloved friend, educator, and mentor, Ms. Audrey Jones

passed away. Audrey Jones, a member of Delta Gem (Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, Inc.) was a passionate, dedicated, selfless advocate for all students.
Many of the Brothers within the chapter had the opportunity to meet Ms.
Jones at our 2016 Black and Gold Ball. She accompanied the scholarship
recipient, Yosaph Boku. Ms. Jones worked tirelessly to ensure that her stu-
dents at Mount Vernon High School were provided various opportunities.
The Theta Rho Lambda chapter has Audrey to thank for the various scholar-
ship applications that we’ve received over the last few years. In addition,
Audrey is solely responsible for identifying and coordinating the two Leader-
ship Development Institute (LDI) Ambassadors that represented our chapter
at the 2017 Eastern Region Convention. Audrey identified, selected, and
collaborated with Bro. Matthew Johnson so that her two students would not
miss out on this opportunity. Ms. Audrey Jones has been an inspiration for
many and will truly be missed.
