I will certainly miss Dorothy as a personal friend. She always lifted me up and was so cheerful and praising God and her favorite saying was let go and let God. She was always helping other people and really was a good friend to all of us and I’m half of the rock ‘n’ roll chapter rest in peace Miss Dorothy

I am so sad to hear of the home-going of Dorothy. She was a wonderful and talented lady who touched the lives of so many. I deeply appreciated her contributions to the NFB of SC. Rest in peace dear lady!



On behalf of the Clarendon County Chapter, I extend condolences to the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.



My Best,

I have just received word that longtime Columbia Chapter member, Dorothy Barksdale has passed.  She was the first African-American to join the NFB of SC about 5 decades ago.  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.

David Houck
