BARBARA JEAN ADAMS WRIGHT OF BENNETTSVILLE, TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
  Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs.
Barbara Jean Adams Wright of Bennettsville, who gained her wings on December 7, 2024;
and   Whereas, a native of Durham, North Carolina, the young Barbara was educated at Hillside High School and North Carolina College at Durham (now North Carolina Central University).
While at North Carolina College, her focus was on music appreciation, piano, and her future husband, who was also a student at North Carolina College.
She moved from Durham to Bennettsville in 1956 after marrying Mr.
Wright and continued her education at Francis Marion University, Coker College, and Sumter's Morris College, where she received her bachelor's degree.
While at Morris College, she was one of the charter members of the Nu Gamma Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.;
and   Whereas, Mrs.
Wright taught in the Bennettsville elementary schools for more than thirty-five years and retired in 1996.
She was also one of three teachers from Old Marlboro School to integrate Bennettsville Elementary School.
In 2014, she was honored by the Old Marlboro Community Center Board of Directors for her contributions to the school and the many students she taught.
Moreover, this avid lover of music taught piano lessons for years to countless students throughout Marlboro County;
and   Whereas, she found her spiritual home at Shiloh Baptist Church, where, as a member, she served as organist for the Senior Choir for many years.
In addition, she was president of the Violet Reese Ministry, vice president of the General Missionary Ministry, and a member of the Mother's Club and Officers' Wives Club;
and   Whereas, predeceased by her husband, Julian B.
Wright, who was also an educator, Mrs.
Wright leaves to cherish her memory four adult children:
Julian B.
Wright Jr.
of Arizona, Stanton Eldridge Wright of Pennsylvania, Stephanie Carlotta Wright of Bennettsville, and Crystal Juliet Wright of Columbia;
and two grandsons, Julian B.
Wright III of Arizona and Stanton Ephram Wright of Bennettsville.
This great-grandmother further leaves a host of other loving relatives and friends.
She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
  That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Mrs.
Barbara Jean Adams Wright of Bennettsville, celebrate her life, and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family.
