 The
Donnell Epperson Soon To Be Published contest is for non-published members
of the OKRWA chapter.
This contest
for aspiring writers is named in loving memory of OKRWA member Donnell
Epperson. After a hard fought battle with cancer, she received her Angel
wings and was called home February 2010. Resolute with unshakeable spirit,
she was a joyful inspiration to all. She never stopped writing, teaching,
judging, leading and encouraging other aspiring writers. Donnell's accolades
include: past president of OKRWA, program chair, NRCA chair, three time
winner of the STBP contest, finalist of the 2010 Golden Heart Award, beloved
friend, wife, mother and writer.
She was, by
sheer definition, the embodiment of the STBP. No obstacle shall stand in the
way of a dream. And no dream is too big. Donnell dreamed big and lived life
to the fullest. With this indomitable spirit, her memory will serve to
inspire us all.
"Those
who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves." -James Barrie
