Dr. Donda West Memorial.


Kanye West's mother Donda will be remembered Friday in a memorial service at Chicago State University, where she was a member of the faculty for 24 years.

"She had a vibrant spirit and one that was nurturing and also supportive but nonetheless always challenging," Robyn Wheeler, director of university relations, told PEOPLE. "We felt the service should reflect who she really was."

The rap star will not attend the ceremony for his mother, a professor who died Nov. 10 of possible complications from surgery; Donda West's nephew will represent the family.

Kanye West also pulled out of an engagement and Will.I.AM (of the Black Eye Peas) will fill in for Kanye.
