Wilma Rudolph's mother, Blanche Rudolph, passed away in 1994. She had been a significant influence in Wilma's life and athletic career, supporting her through the challenges of childhood illnesses and encouraging her to pursue track and field. Blanche's dedication and resilience served as a source of inspiration for Wilma throughout her life.
Wilma Rudolph was nicknamed "Skeeter" because of her speed and agility, reminiscent of a mosquito ("skeeter" is a colloquial term for mosquito). The nickname was given to her by her family when she was a child, reflecting her quick movements and energetic nature. This moniker became a fitting symbol of her remarkable athletic prowess as she later became an Olympic champion sprinter.
