Laney Alumni Association.  

The late Angela Sheree Barnes-Jones affectionately known as “Reece” was born on April 4,1972 to Retired SGM Joseph and the late Mrs. Susie Barnes. She was educated in Richmond County as she attended Hornsby Elementary, East Augusta, and Graduated from Lucy C. Laney High School with the class of 1990. She received advanced degrees from Paine College and Troy University. She loved education so much that she went on to further education and become a teacher, which allowed her to give back to the same community from where she came. She began teaching elementary school at Hornsby, Meadowbrook, and Craig Houghton at the onset of her career. She would begin with a class of first grade youth and move from one grade level to the next as the children were promoted. Once the children completed the fifth grade and went on to middle school, she would start off with another fresh group of first graders and repeat the process. This allowed her to give the children a sense of stability and a level of comfort to know that she genuinely cared about their education and progress. She interacted with parents before, during, and after school hours to ensure the success of the students. There was never a time when she wasn’t engaged with the processes of ensuring that she was giving all she had towards this journey. Angela believed that writing, hands on, and analytical skills were not only a fundamental part of academic excellence but were also building blocks of critical thinking in school and everyday life.

 In addition to managing before and after school programs, she operated virtual Saturday tutoring sessions and made herself available whenever necessary. The selflessness she had when it came to her community and the education arena were unmatched. The one-on-one sessions with the students were free of charge. She was an amazing educator and performed her duties with a smile regardless of how wavering the tasks may have become. She  has worked diligently with the youth in the Upward Bound Program at Paine College, The Boys and Girls Club of America, The Department of Juvenile Justice, and has coordinated programs with the youth groups in the church. She has been referred to as being a pure, strong woman in the community not only for herself but for others during her role as a care giver. She planted many seeds in this community. It is an amazing adventure to still see many of them growing.

Angela was a member of the Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Inc. She   truly demonstrated womanhood, scholarship, perseverance, and sisterhood. Her hobbies included attending Lucy C. Laney basketball and football games, shopping, spending time with her family, and going out to eat with friends. She was crowned “Miss Sophomore”, was a cheerleader, & coach, and first runner up to “Miss Laney.” She has received numerous service awards throughout her dedicated years of being an educator. She also participated with the women’s ministry. She was married to her high school sweet-heart Mario Jones as the two of them became a real-life power couple. Prior to her passing in 2021, at the young age of 49 during the spring break week she was at her home working on upcoming lessons and plans to enhance her teaching for her students. Because she was always working on behalf of others this is what declares her a Pioneer.
