Mrs. Jean Bennett was my 3rd Grade teacher at Southern Pines elementary school, she was a wonderful teacher and loving to all the students. One day after many years, I met her again at the First Presbyterian Church in Carthage for a shower given for a bride, what a wonderful reunion, I was very blessed to see Mrs. Bennett again, We talk as though we were friends forever,
Blessing to Joseph and Sarah each family member, Keeping you in my prayers and May the Lord Jesus bring you the comforter.
Hammond & Sarah,
Your mom was a wonderful lady. The great thing about being in the same small town your whole life is getting to know folks like her first as your friends’ mom, but then as we get older having the opportunity to know them for the special individuals they are. I’m so glad I knew her & always loved being greeted by that great smile. Your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Jean was a sweet lady, so much like her Mother! Prayers and thoughts for the family.
Sarah and Hammond I always enjoyed being in your mother’s presence. I will remember her for her happy outlook and her great smile. When she and Becky were together at church….that was always a good time. I have great memories of your fine mother.
So sorry for the passing of your loved one. I’m praying our Lord will comfort all the family members, lifting all of you up at this time. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mrs Bennett was my daughter Misty’s 3rd grade teacher. She was a fantastic teacher and a wonderful woman. My sympathies to the family.
I am so sorry for you loss. I wish I had known Mrs. Bennett. Thoughts, sympathy, and prayers to your family. 💙 🌹🙏
Ms. Bennett was a great lady with a great sense of humor. My condolences to the family!
To the Bennett family:
Scott and I (Scott and Debbie Marion) are very sorry to hear of your loss. We didn’t know about it until seeing it here today. Ms. Bennett was a treasure. I remember the many times of sitting around Gladys Marion’s kitchen table and listening to the tales of the great ladies of Carthage and seeing the pictures of the Halloween goulash suppers with the ladies all dressed up. I will remember her fondly and pray that God will comfort you all in this time of sorrow.
