The Norfolk Virginian Pilot December 14, 1943


 
Mrs. Bacchus, 94, Succumbs
Funeral for Prominent Bible Class Teacher Tomorrow at 2 P.M.
 
Mrs. Mary Virginia (“Jennie”) Bacchus, 94, died yesterday morning at 4 o’clock 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Bacchus Lambert, 5209 Bluestone 
Avenue.
She was the teacher of the Jennie Bacchus Bible Class of the Burrows Memorial 
Baptist Church for 53 years and closely identified with the activities of the 
church.
She had enjoyed good health for many years but became ill Thanksgiving Day from 
a cold.
Just two days before she developed the cold she attended a birthday party in 
her honor and was as active in participating as any of the guest. Until she was 
stricken ill she was a regular attendant at church. She had been absent only 
twice the entire year up until the Sunday after Thanksgiving Day.
The Rev. Kenneth E. Burke, pastor of the church, and Mrs. HJ. Curfman, 
president of the Bible Class, said yesterday the death of Mrs. Bacchus was a 
great loss to the church and its allied organizations.
She was a native of Norfolk, being the daughter of the late Joachim Martinez 
Bayto and Mrs. Margaret Greenwood Bayto.
Her survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Lambert; a son, Richard Eugene Bacchus; five 
grandchildren, Lieut. Richard Eugene Bachus, Jr., USCG, Robert Hudgins Bacchus, 
Lieut. Margaret A. Bacchus, WAC; R. Frederick Lambert, USCG, and Miss Margaret 
Lankford Lambert, all of Norfolk, and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon. The body will be taken from 
the James V. Derry Funeral Home to Burrows Memorial Baptist Church, where the 
rites will be conducted at 2 o’clock. Burial will be in Cedar Grove Cemetery.
