Bay area celebrates legendary park ranger betty reid soskin's life

For 104 years, Betty Reid Soskin lived a life full of purpose and inspiration. Her passing in December left the Bay Area with a void, but it wasn't until this weekend that the community came together to pay tribute to this remarkable woman.

Her impact resonated far beyond her years

Soskin's remarkable story began during World War II, when she moved to Richmond to work in the war effort. She faced racial and gender discrimination, but her experiences shaped her later work as a park ranger and advocate for social justice.
