To the Liles/Bennett family:My heart was truly saddened to hear of the passing of your dear sister Barbara. Our families go back, as we were a part of the Lilesville community, attending Parson Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Anson County Schools, and at some point NC A&T State University together and shared the "Aggie Pride" experience. Barbara was my brother Eddie's classmate,Toni and Ronnie were classmates. My Mom, Mother Mary H. Parsons and her Mom,Mother Winnie Mae Liles were the best of friends and they modeled the love and compassionate spirit of God to us. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May God's love, mercy, and grace continue to carry and keep you. Pastor Patricia P. Cole

I want to send my deepest condolences to the Liles and Bennett families on their loss.
"They say a good neighbor balances basic respect and consideration with a willingness to communicate and look out for others," and Ms. Barbara did exactly that!!!
She welcomed my mom and I with open arms when we first moved into the Lakefield neighborhood. There wasn't a single time I wouldn't see her walking around the neighborhood without Sophie by her side. Whenever I stopped to speak with her, she would always ask me how I was doing and how school was coming along.
Even after I graduated and moved out of my mom's house, I always knew that whenever I came back home, I had to make sure I stopped by to speak with Ms. Barbara.
I'm going to cherish our last conversation and the moment you told me how proud you were of me and the young man I've become. I will always carry those words with me.
I miss you, and I love you, Ms. Barbara.
Forever your neighbor, Quinton Fields

My most sincere condolences to the Liles and Bennett families! Barbara and I pledged Alpha Kappa Alpha together at NC A&T State University.I was #7 and she was #8.We went our separate ways after college but then years later we ended up as neighbors! I am honestly heartbroken.We had both joined Graduate Chapter of AKA and usually sat together and joined the same committees.I don't know what I am going to do without her wisdom and intelligence to guide me.Barbara was truly loved and I tried to be there for her throughout her illness! God bless each and every one of you family members! We all have such beautiful memories of my friend! Rest in peace until we meet again! My love for you will never end.

Barbara D. Liles Bennett was a wonderful person and a very dear friend. We met at the beginning of our freshman year, along with her high school classmate, Margaret. We were all from little towns and we were eager to be successful at A&T and in life. It was a joy to see her at our 40th and 45th Class Reunions, and an equal joy to learn that Nelson and she were united as one. Barbara was a highly intelligent and a kind soul. I am honored to have known her.
Barbara was my Sorority sister that I met only a couple years ago. I felt her warmth and her kind and calming spirit immediately. She was more of a source of encouragement to me than I was to her. I shall miss our after church embraces and conversations. Be at peace. ๐ฉท๐
To the family of Ms Barbara Liles-Bennett you have my deepest sympathy during this time of sorrow. Barbara was my Regional Dietitian Manager for the Piedmont Region and during my tenure as Superintendent of Anson Correctional Center. I always found her to be friendly, kind spoken and very professional. She was someone who cared about her job and was willing to work with me and staff to improve the day to day operations of the food service department. She was a lovely person and carried a humbling spirit with her at all times. She will be missed but not forgotten. May the sweet memories of her rest forever in our hearts and souls forever. May the Family have peace knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. With love Robert Harden and Family.
