Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Barbara Jean McRae to show support.

She was predeceased by: her husband Reginald Lowry McRae; her parents, J. W. Bright and Mary Bright; and her siblings, Lexie Henson, Nancy Henson, Pauline Bright, Robert Bright, Dorothy Driver, Coyce McGaugh, Evelyn Mailloux, Abner Bright, Wesley Bright, Janelle Harwood and Bonnie Carpenter.

She is survived by: her daughters, Regina "Gina" McRae and Rhonda McRae of Ridgeland; and her caregiver Tamara Barbaro. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Not long after the Biltmore adventure, life took a little turn as she started down a long road with Alzheimer's. As it does, the disease loosened many things from her grip.
