Obituary For Barbara B. Jones
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5 - 6
Mother Barbara Brabham Jones was born to the late Otis Brabham and the late Addie Davis on November 18, 1937, in Allendale County, South Carolina.

She graduated from Fairfax Training School, Class of 1954. She was also named Ms. Fairfax in 1954. She furthered her studies at Voorhees College, where she majored in Business Administration.
