Mrs. Barbara Jones Jordan, 86 was born November 15, 1938 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to the late David Wright and Alma Jones. She departed this life peacefully on December 16, 2024 at K.B. Reynolds Hospice Home.

She was a devoted member of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church until her health began to decline.

She attended Anderson High School and being a lifelong learner, she attended Forsyth Technical Community College where she earned multiple degrees.

She was a loving mother and grandmother to her family.

She believed that family was an important aspect of life no matter where you come from. She was that pillar to all who knew her and was the foundation of love, support, and nurture to those she had helped along the way.

Because of her love for children and family, Barbara chose a profession in early childhood where she worked as a teacher to provide care, support, and love for children for many years until her retirement from the Youth Development Center on the campus of Winston-Salem State University.
