Three-time Olympic gold medalist Wilma Rudolph reunited her hometown again Friday, this time for her funeral.
Rudolph, 54, died Nov. 12 at home from brain cancer.More than 2,000 people jammed the First Baptist Church, filling the aisles and leaning against the walls.
More than 30 Olympians, including Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith Joyner and Ralph Boston, attended the memorial service in Kean Hall. That was the gymnasium where Rudolph practiced as a Tigerbelle.
