Trudy Rigney left a legacy of resilience for son Jonmichael
Rick Rigney recalls Trudy Rigney, a Tulsa area student and mother, who despite homelessness and a traffic injury loss of job pursued a degree at the University of Oklahoma. She tutored and inspired Jonmichael, took him on trips, and earned honors while planning a better life. After her death, family and friends keep her memory alive with a fund in her name at OU Geography.
