Kathryn L. Barrett

What a great lady and great leader! She will be truly missed in our community.

Prayers and condolences are extended to the family of Ms. Barrett; namely her sisters, Brenda and Cynthia. Our families share a common bond and that is the bond of friendship and education. Ms. Barrett was a firm believer in education and she pushed several students to fullfill their goals. She will be deeply missed.

I felt honored to have met such a historic activist as Ms. Barrett. I was proud to work with her on the Southside Project so many years ago. She had a memory and a vision which made her an incredible resource. She was so kind to us while explaining how little we really knew. Having known her good friend Watt Washington, I got a little background on young Kathryn which only reinforced my complete adoration and respect. I hope the message she lived continues to live.

May the family and friends find peace and comfort in CHRIST...
