SGT Kirchens, Daniel

With deep sorrow and profound sisterly love, the members of the Beta Iota Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of our beloved Soror Brianna Boggan.

Soror Brianna began her journey of sisterhood and service when she was initiated into our illustrious sisterhood through the Nu Rho Chapter at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She later continued her commitment to the ideals of Alpha Kappa Alpha by joining our graduate chapter, Beta Iota Omega, in Greensboro, North Carolina.

A devoted woman of faith, a proud veteran of the United States Army, and a champion for public health, Soror Brianna lived a life anchored in service to all mankind. Her educational pursuits in public health—both at the undergraduate and graduate levels—reflected her deep desire to uplift and protect her community. As a dedicated professional with the North Carolina Department of Human Services, she served with compassion, wisdom, and excellence.

Soror Brianna's quiet strength, spiritual light, and sisterly demeanor were felt by all who had the honor to know her. Her life, though brief, was full of purpose, and her legacy will forever live in our hearts.

We are comforted in knowing that Soror Brianna now rests in eternal peace and that her spirit continues to soar with the Ivy Beyond the Wall.

With Sisterly Love, Simone Langley, President The Members of the Beta Iota Omega Chapter Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Greensboro, North Carolina

Beta Iota Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Greensboro, NC

Wishing you all comfort and peace during this time. Brianna was a star student at UNCC. She represented the very best of what we hope for in our students — the curiosity, initiative, and a commitment to her work. I will miss her dearly.

My condolences to the family,

Bri I just wanted to say it was an honor knowing you, it has always been great energy and vibes. I honestly don't even know what else to say other than thank you and I can hear you voice 🙏🏾💓

I will always remember Brianna as sweet, smart and comforting during my time at UNCG. She left an indelible mark on our community during her tenure. I am truly shocked by this loss and share my deepest condolences & sympathies to her family & loved ones. She will be missed 🙏🏽💔

Timia F.

First I would like to send my condolences to your family. Second; I'm deeply saddened by the loss of Bri. I remember the first time we met, we were at a party and I was doing my biology homework and she just started helping me with it and we clicked from there. Brianna's soul was one of a kind. Always positive, smiling and being silly but super ambitious!

I'm gonna miss you, I was really hoping you were starting to feel better. Sleep peacefully sis 💗

Teryn Burton

Prayers for the family 🙏

Brianna,

I am beyond heartbroken you're gone. I am going to miss you soo much. Thankyou for your loyalty and love you showed me over the past 6 years. You were truly 1 of 1 and the world is less beautiful without you in it. I will miss our laughs, cry's and trips & prayers together.

I thank God for the memories I have with you and that I was able to experience a true selfless soul. Thank you for driving 10 hours just to see us in Philly and thank you for showing up that one last time in NC. I should've hugged you longer sister.

You always showed up and showed out for everyone around you. You were always down for the ride & I will cherish those last moments with you for the rest of my life.

My friend, sister, Soror and RIDER, this isn't good bye, but see you later. A true POWERHOUSE gone too soon.

Endless prayers to your family and friends. I'm so sorry

I love you B 🩷
