Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg on Saturday released the following statement on the passing of former lawmaker and educator Lucille Whipper:
“Lucille Whipper was quite simply one of the finest people I’ve ever known. She loved generously and well, lived her life with fortitude and purpose, and left the world better and kinder than she found it. Known to all for her great intellect and indomitable spirit, Lucille will be much missed, but never forgotten.”
