Barbara Elizabeth Haynes Wright, 82, of Hayes, died at her home Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017.

 Barbara was a 1954 graduate of Gloucester High School and a member of Union Baptist Church, as well as a lifelong member of Groves Memorial Presbyterian Church.

She retired as an Administrative Secretary from the College of William and Mary. She previously had been a secretary and deputy building official to C. Fleming Rilee, Gloucester County.
