It saddens my heart to know that Dr. May is no longer with us. She has always held a special place in my heart. I return to my hometown in 1997, but I still kept in contact with each other.
I met her when I became employed with Special Education for the state of Tennessee. I've always admired her for her fashion in clothes, shoes, make up. She was the most well dressed lady of her age at that time. As well as being a smart business woman. She loved those two grandsons (Sean & Tyler) to no end and was very proud of them.
What a wonderful soul that the world has lost. She made her mark on this earth in so many areas, and especially, in education! Love you always Dr. May Alice Ridley! Sophia

I met Dr. Ridley in 2004 at the TBR Faculty Symposium commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Topeka celebration and she became president of my fan club. She was a beautiful, dedicated, and committed champion for women, higher education, excellence, empowerment, and forward movement. She always set the bar high and cheered until you reached it--I only wish I could be half as smart as she thought I was!
I thank and praise God for her amazing life and witness.

Dr. Ridley will always be cherished as a woman of vision! Her tenacity is undeniable and unforgettable. I will forever be grateful for the trust she had in me to lead her "Gem"! Ridley Family may you receive comfort in knowing that she is resting with the King. Cheryl Bowman, Ph.D.
