A private funeral for local civil rights leader Dr. Stella Marrs will be held in South Carolina. She had retired there a few years ago and died last week of natural causes…
And that was the head of the RBA Al Samuels, Rockland County Executive Ed Day and Ramapo Supervisor Michael Specht, reflecting on Dr. Marrs. The Martin Luther King Multi-Purpose Center will be hosting a “Bright Moments” Celebration of Life to honor Dr. Marrs. Donations in her memory can be made to the Martin Luther King Multi-Purpose Center in Spring Valley, which she led for two decades. She was 92.
