And we were so sorry to hear about Dorothy‘s passing. I know she is in a better place and we all loved her. She was an inspiration to all who met her. May we all live the life that Dorothy would have us to live. May she rest in peace and we just will miss her it’s so much. I’m half of the Rock Hill Chapter Dorothy we miss you and love you

She also served as Secretary for the Columbia Chapter, Federation Center of the Blind, NFB of SC state board and the Rocky Bottom board.  As Chairperson of the We Care Committee, Dorothy Barksdale cared for many of our members and others.  She also was recognized on the Columbia Housing Authority's Wall of Fame.  She will need to be replaced for the upcoming Devotional and Memorial Service at the state convention.  Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.
