Mrs. Barnell Rice Obituary

Mrs. Barnell Rice, 76, was the daughter of the late Lonzell “Pop” Brown and Marie Foster Brown, was born April 24, 1944 in Blackstock , SC. She went home to be with the Lord, surrounded by her children at her home on West College Street, Winnsboro on Sunday, September 26, 2020.

Barnell was a faithful employee of the Fairfield County School District, working as a cafeteria worker until she retired. During the summer months she continued to work at Camp Lavida in White Oak, SC as a cafeteria worker as well.
