Last month, Lipscomb was delivering newspapers when she saw an elderly man who had fallen in his driveway.

She called 911 immediately and then took the clothes off her own back and put them on the man to keep him warm, the department shared on social media.

“If it hadn’t been for Mr. Lipscomb’s quick and heroic actions, the fallen individual would have likely perished,” Officer Amanda Toole, who nominated Lipscomb for the award, said.

The department called Lipscomb a “great example of the kindness and exceptionalism” that makes Richmond “a home.”
