Bennie was the sweetest, most loving, and happiest person one could ever have the pleasure to know. She was also the funniest even in some serious situations. Once at Confederate Park pool I dove into the deepend. Bennie Jane dove in right behind me. I didn't know she couldn't swim. She grabbed hold of me and then I couldn't swim. She began to yell Call Bass! which most in Rock Hill know was an ambulance and Funeral Home. She could make a stone statue smile anytime.. She will be greatly missed.

Bennie is one of my first friends of memory. We started life together in Bethel Mehtodist church and went from first grade through high school together. Her passing is hard to grasp.
