She also proved that in Hinds County among black voters party was a more determining factor than race. She and McMillan continually won reelection running as a Democrat while others were hollering a white person can't win. She understood her job and how to keep it. She was also nice to everybody.
RIP
She was a first-class individual. Did a great job in county government for decades. As honest as they come. May she rest in peace,
Ms. Dunn was always a class act. I used to get tickled that she installed a kitchen in the basement of the circuit court building so the staff could cook breakfast and lunch. May she RIP and condolences to her family.
A good public servant and a good person. Two qualities that are uncommon in elected officials
A classy lady who represented all residents of Hinds County fairly. Rest in peace.
Barbara was a very nice lady and ran a good operation at the Hinds County Circuit Clerk's office. She held her office with distinction and was a wonderful public servant to our community. Very sad to hear that she passed and extend sympathies to her family.
May she rest in peace, her years of service were appreciated by many.
She always spoke to the jury pool and made us feel welcome. As stated, a classy lady.
she used to call me suga :) I think she called everyone that though
She issued my marriage license - still good 30+ years later!
Ms. Dunn was a wonderful person and a class act. RIP.
"She understood her job and how to keep it."
She understood how to keep it, but the Miss. Supreme Court had to remind her more than once to actually do her job.
She always had great assistant clerks who helped out inexperienced runners and new lawyers, and they were always very kind about it.
I can marvel at how she looked out for everyone working in her office. Friends til the end.
. She was always nice to me. I wish the chancery clerks office was run cleanly and efficiently in hinds first district.
Barbara was a legend. And a Klassy lady. RIP Barbara
Back when you didn't mind standing in line at a county office. You knew, and received, respectable, competent assistance with your affairs... sadly not to be had today.
She was awesome!
She was an example of 'old school service' in our county offices. What I mean by that is she carried out her duties with a firm desire to do what's in the best interest of those served by her office - rather than *what can I do to benefit myself and my family personally*. A disappearing work ethic.
