FVSU NAA, INC. CELEBRATES THE LIFE OF FVSU FIRST LADY BETTY H. RIVERS

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Mrs. Betty Jean Hubbard Rivers ’73, a proud FVSUNAA Life Member and former First Lady of Fort Valley State University alongside her husband, our 8th President, Dr. Larry Eugene Rivers.

Mrs. Rivers embodied a quiet and genuine spirit of service to Fort Valley State University and the Wildcat family. I had the privilege of speaking with her earlier this year as she graciously contributed behind the scenes to support one of our programs. She sought no recognition or praise; she simply wanted to help. That was the kind of lady Mrs. Rivers was.

Her love for our University, her commitment to service, and the grace with which she carried herself will remain a treasured part of the Fort Valley State University legacy.

On behalf of the Fort Valley State University National Alumni Association, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Rivers, the entire Rivers family, and all who knew and loved Mrs. Rivers. May God bless her memory and grant comfort and peace to all who mourn her passing.

Funeral services are slated to be held next week in Tallahassee, Florida, and final arrangements will be shared with the Wildcat family once they are finalized.

Rest well, Mrs. Rivers. Your service, kindness, and Wildcat spirit will not be forgotten.

In True Wildcat Spirit,

Garren M. Walker ’22
28th National President
Fort Valley State University National Alumni Association, Inc.
