Wanton"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Earlier today, I was filled with tremendous pride as my Brother Darryl Jones tagged me into a recent post about his dear mentor (and my Godmother), Dr. Eva C. Wanton, as brilliantly written by our niece (and her granddaughter), Taylore Maxey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Hobbservation Point <\/strong><\/em>readers who knew my Godmother due to her roles as an educator and civic leader, I hope that this piece helps you to fondly reminisce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who did not get to meet her prior to her untimely passing in 2014, I hope that this piece helps you to learn about a woman who was not just my mother’s best friend and Delta Sigma Theta Soror, but one who had a profound influence on my life as I soaked up so much wisdom listening to her and my mother talk on many a road trip as my God Sister, Dwanna Wanton, and I sat at rapt attention during our youth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
