Each month, Tri Delta publishes In Memoriam, highlighting the lives of some of our Distinguished Deltas and longtime volunteers and sharing a full list of sisters who have recently passed away. Below is the In Memoriam for January 2022.
Lynn Hardy Yeakel, Randolph-Macon
Tri Delta was saddened to learn of the death of 2014 Woman of Achievement recipient Lynn Hardy Yeakel, Randolph-Macon, on Jan. 13. Lynn graduated from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College and received a Master of Science in management from the American College.
Lynn founded Women’s Way, the first and largest women’s fundraising coalition in the nation, and served as its CEO from 1980 until 1992, when she ran for the U.S. Senate. She drew national attention in what was called the “Year of the Woman,” winning the primary and nearly unseating the longtime incumbent. In 1994, she was appointed by President Clinton to the position of Mid-Atlantic regional director for the U.S. Department Health and Human Services.
In 2002, she became director of Drexel University College of Medicine’s Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership where she held the Betty A. Cohen Chair in Women’s Health. She went on to found Vision 2020, now called VisionForward, a national initiative to achieve women’s economic and social equality by the year 2020, the 100th anniversary of women’s voting rights.
