Barbara Henson Obituary 2022 – Webb & Stephens Funeral Homes

Barbara Ann Henson was born November 17, 1934, in Meridian MS to Herman and Ruth Hitt. She entered the presence of her dear Savior the Lord Jesus Christ Friday March 18, 2022, having lived 87 years and four months. She is preceded in death by her parents, a sister Beverly Ruth, and her beloved husband Ralph Henson, who went to heaven in June 2008.

She is survived by daughter Beverly Ann Henson of Meridian, son Ralph Henson and wife Christy of Meridian, and son Rick Henson and wife Mindy of Brandon: grandchildren Rebekah Henson of Meridian, Tamarah Fassino and husband, Nick of Tomball TX, Rachel Henson of Madison, and Ben Henson of Meridian: great-grandchildren Ruth Williams and Lucas Williams of Stonewall, and Domemic and Tess Fassino of Tomball TX.

When Barbara was a student at Meridian Community College, she began working in the childcare section and discovered her life’s calling. She started keeping children in her home in 1958 and eventually she and Ralph started their own daycare business in 1966. She and her husband influenced tens of thousands of children for over half a century at Barbara Henson’s Daycare and Swim Gym, where she shaped lives and taught swimming. Those influenced by Ralph and Barbara live across our city, our state, the nation, and even around the world.

Barbara Henson was elected and served as a Lauderdale County Election Commissioner from 1972-1991. In 1989, she was elected as City Councilwoman for the City of Meridian, where she faithfully served until 2017. After her retirement, in recognition of her work and service as Coach of the Meridian Swimming Team from 1963-1972, and having equipped so many with swimming skills, the city renamed the Highland Park pool, the “Barbara Henson Aquatic Center. ”

Barbara and Ralph Henson were long term members at State Boulevard Baptist Church, where they worked tirelessly in the bus ministry and the youth department. They also traveled Sunday mornings for many years to the Okatibbee Reservoir campground where they had a puppet ministry. For the last fourteen years, Barbara has been an active member of New Life Community Church in Meridian, where her son, Ralph serves as pastor, and where she taught children’s church, not surprisingly.

Ralph and Barbara traveled together extensively to forty-nine US states, all except Alaska. They were high-school and life-long sweethearts. Barbara Henson loved her Lord, her husband, and her children; those born to her, as well as those placed in her charge. She exemplified what a Christian lady should be, always with a Godly attitude and outlook in every area of her life. As in Proverbs 31, her children truly rise up and call her blessed, and Barbara Henson, that means many thousands of children.

A celebration of her life will be held at Northcrest Baptist Church Saturday March 26 at 2 PM. Visitation will be from 12 noon to 2:00 PM, before the service. A private burial will be held later.

“Do what you believe in, not what others believe”

Barbra Streisand is one of the most successful female performers of all time. She has over 145 million albums to her credit worldwide. She is 79years and she has two Oscars, 10 Grammys, nine Golden Globes, five Emmys, a special Tony Award and 42 platinum discs. And, perhaps more importantly, she changed our idea of ​​what superstars should be. In an interview with the BBC, timed to coincide with the release of the album of archival recordings, Streisand recalls her creative path and explains why she has always been able to do as she saw fit.

Time – after noon. Barbra Streisand relaxes.

“I just drank coffee, ate blueberries, and I’m still in bed, but I’m talking to you,” she tells me on the phone from her home in Malibu. In the boudoir with her is her “precious baby” Violet, a white and fluffy dog ​​of the decorative Coton de Tulear breed. In the background, a secretary rushes about, looking for sheets of paper with lyrics and, at the same time, doing the work of a reference. “Is it true that Jim Henson came to the recording with Kermit?” Streisand suddenly asks. The answer, unfortunately, is no. ( Kermit the Frog, one of the most famous Muppet dolls, created and voiced by Jim Henson . Note bbcrussian)

Streisand, as a show business legend and successful female director, is well aware of the effect this mise-en-scene creates. But, if she gladly flaunts her prima donna laurels, then at least she fully deserves them.

Barbra Streisand is one of the most successful female performers of all x times. She has over 145 million albums to her credit worldwide. She is 79 years old and has 10 Grammys, nine Golden Globes, five Emmys, a special Tony award, 42 platinum discs and two Oscars. But, perhaps more importantly, she changed our idea of ​​what superstars should be.

Take, for example, her singing voice. Streisand is able to build a phrase in such a way that it seems as if she is reciting the text, as if these words had just come into her head, creating the illusion of intimacy and immediacy, which, by the way, other artists have adopted after her.

But perhaps most importantly, she changed the way women in show business should be. Her career began in the 60s, and then she was constantly told that she was too ugly to become a star. Streisand went against all advice, refused to “fix” her nose surgically, and still became the leading actress.

Winning an Oscar for Best Actress for Funny Girl in 1968, she helped found First Artists, a production company that helps stars make films outside of the Hollywood studio system. With her help, she herself starred in one of her most successful films, A Star Is Born. She liked that this character of hers was “full of a feminist spirit.”

“Funny Girl” is more or less about the life of Broadway star Fanny Brice. She remains the role that determined Streisand’s future career.

End of story Podcast

In 1983, Streisand became the first woman to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for Yentl. It tells the story of a girl from an Orthodox Jewish family who, after the death of her rabbi father, dresses in men’s clothes in order to be able to study the Talmud.

This award proved to be such an exceptional event that, until very recently, Streisand was the only woman to receive it. In 2021, Chloe Zhao won the Golden Globe for Nomadland.

“I’m glad she won,” she says of Zhao’s victory, “I sent her a letter of congratulations.”

Early in her career, 21-year-old Streisand entered into an agreement with Columbia Records in which she agreed to cut her royalties in exchange for complete creative freedom.

“I didn’t care what kind of money I got,” she says. “The main thing is to be able to sing only the songs that I wanted.”

This agreement turned out to be very useful, and almost immediately. The label wanted her debut album to be called Sweet and Brash Streisand. Instead, it came out as “The Barbra Streisand Album”.

“I said, what’s the problem? It’s really a Barbra Streisand album. If you’ve seen me on TV, then you just go to the store and ask where you have a Barbra Streisand album? It’s just common sense. ”

Twenty-two years and 13 top ten albums later, she’s still using that same deal to keep her label from getting the better of her.

“Then I recorded the ‘Broadway Album’ and they said, ‘Oh no, you can’t, it’s not a pop song at all! And I said, ‘But I only have the right to sing what I want!’

“They even refused to pay me at first until they sold about two and a half million. And then he became number one, and I think I got a Grammy for him too. You have to trust your intuition if you at least to some extent an artist, then do only what you believe in, and not what others believe in.

So, Streisand made her own rules from the very beginning, from the day she first appeared on the Broadway show I’ll Get You This Wholesale at 1962 year. One single song she performed caused a standing ovation, which, according to eyewitnesses, lasted five minutes.

“I didn’t count, so I just don’t know,” she said in an interview, where she was asked to confirm this story. “But if at first I was paid $175, then the next day they started paying $350.”

Streisand has good business acumen: not only has she made millions on the stock market, but she owns all of her master records, something neither the Beatles, nor Prince, nor Taylor Swift has been able to achieve.

These recordings are in a specially designed vault, where boxes of films, canisters of films and reels of television performances are crammed into the shelves to the ceiling. It was there that Streisand assembled her latest album, Release Me 2, by digging and dusting 10 little-known masterpieces from her 60-year career.

The album opens with Burt Bacharach and David Hal’s “Be Aware”, which they wrote for Streisand in 1971 for a special TV program on child poverty and homelessness.

“Hal David wrote such beautiful words, didn’t they? “When your belly is full, somewhere in the world there are hungry people, when there is so much of everything, why is anyone hungry? Don’t you care? Don’t you want to know why?” – and these words are still relevant, we are still in the same position. ”

Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand have been collaborating for 40 years now

The other songs on this album are a lot more fun though. For example, the duet with Kermit “Rainbow connections”, which she recorded at 1979 just to please his son Jason.

“It was all so long ago that I forgot I ever sang it,” she laughs. The tape was discovered only when producer Streisand Jay Landers unearthed it in the archives of the vault. “He said, look, you’ve sung with so many celebrities and Lionel Richie and Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion, but you’ve never sung with an evergreen frog! And I said, exactly, exactly, great!

Even more fun was the duet with Barry Gibb If Only You Were Mine, an excerpt from the 2005 album Reprehensible Pleasures ( in the Russian version is not quite the correct translation of the expression guilty pleasures, “ translator), in which both participants engage in a mischievous argument under a cheerful bossa nova, criticizing each other’s voices in every way.
