Norfolk Journal and Guide, May 27,1954
Funeral services were held 3 p.m. March 23 at Bank Street Baptist Church, for 
Mrs. Rosa Brehon Bibbins of 876 Lexington street, who died Sunday at a Franklin 
hospital following a short illness.  Dr. J. B. Henderson, assisted by the Rev. 
R. B. Martin, officiated.

Miss Marion Knox sang “The Lord’s Prayer.”  Mrs. Bibbins was the daughter of the 
late James J. and Mrs. Mary D. Brehon, and the widow of the late Charles L. 
Bibbins.  She was active in church, civic and social affairs.

She attended Norfolk Mission College and taught at Hayden High School in 
Franklin, VA, for 28 years.  She was a member of Bank Street Church choir for 20 
years, and a member of the Daughters of Norfolk.

She was also a member of the Franklin Chapter Virginia State College Alumni 
Association, the Thursday Evening Social Club, and the Rose of Sharon Lodge at 
Franklin, VA.

She held membership in the choir, the deaconess board, the Women’s Council, the 
Dorcas, and missionary societies of Bank Street Baptist Church, and the Thursday 
Night Bridge Club of Norfolk.

When Mrs. Bibbins retired from Franklin school system in 1951, citizens of that 
city presented her a diamond ring.  Prominent businessmen also gave her gifts at 
the time of her retirement.  She taught first grade students all during her 
teaching career.

The Franklin school superintendent, and citizens, last November made Mrs. 
Bibbins an honored guest at dedication services for the new Hayden High School 
building.

granddaughter, Katherine Rose Bibbins, all of Norfolk;  three nephews, Brehon,
