Dixie Carter |
Hollywood California |
Dixie Virginia Carter (May 25, 1939 – April 10, 2010) was an American actress, having appeared in films, television and on stage. She was most famous for her long-running role in the sitcom Designing Women (1986 - 1993), and was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Desperate Housewives in 2007. In 1967, Carter married businessman Arthur Carter (no relation). They had two daughters, Mary Dixie and Ginna (who would later appear in an episode of Designing Women). Following the birth of her daughters, Carter left acting for eight years to focus on raising her children. She divorced Arthur Carter in 1977, and married Broadway and TV actor George Hearn the same year. Two years later, in 1979, she divorced Hearn. She married for the third time on May 27, 1984, to Hal Holbrook (14 years her senior), who is most noted for his appearances as Mark Twain. Carter recently renovated her old family home in McLemoresville. She and Holbrook divided their time between their homes in Beverly Hills and McLemoresville, where Carter`s elderly father, Halbert, resided with her until his death in early 2007. In 1996, Carter published a memoir entitled Trying to Get to Heaven, in which she talked frankly about her life with Hal Holbrook, Designing Women, and her plastic surgery during the show`s run. Dixie Carter died on April 10, 2010. |

Rosa Wright |
Miami Florida 33116 |
Rosa Akins Wright wrote songs and played guitar for her children, who sang in churches, nursing homes and hospitals as the Wright Spiritual Singers, later the Echoes of Joy. They recorded their first album in 1956, and found careers in secular music -- the kind that Rosa Wright wouldn't allow in her home.
Rosa Wright was a deeply devout woman who always cared for others, first as a domestic worker, then as registered nurse.
But whatever else she did, she spent most of her 85 years in prayer and song. Gospel music by groups like the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Soul Stirrers and Shirley Caesar filled her homes in the James E. Scott housing projects, later in El Portal.
``Her entire life was in church until she couldn't get there anymore,'' said Betty -- born Bessie Regina Norris -- Wright's seventh child. ``Even in her room in rehab, she had gospel on the radio. . . She'd hold onto her walker and do her little shout and step.''
After Rosa Wright died of diabetic complications on Sept. 5 at North Shore Medical Center, loved ones -- including most of her 41 grand- and great-grandchildren -- held ``a giant celebration, full of music and life'' at Bethel Apostolic Church, Betty Wright said.
``We sang her into glory. She was going home to her Father,'' as the last of nine siblings.
Born Rosa Lee Akins on Oct. 3, 1924, in Cairo, Ga., she came to South Florida after a racial incident involving her brothers drove her extended family out of town in 1936.
They were well off, and had to leave their farms and possessions to start over at the bottom in Perrine, then Overtown.
She was married three times: to Milton Wright Sr., whom she divorced; to McArthur Norris then to Jimmy Braddy, who both died.
After Rosa graduated from Miami's segregated George Washington Carver High School, she traveled by three buses daily to care for families in Miami Beach -- where black people could only go to work, and only if they carried a police permit.
``She once had an incident on the bus like Rosa Parks, when I was a baby in her arms,'' said daughter Jeanette Wright of Miami, formerly with KC and the Sunshine Band.
``It was 1949 or '50,'' added her older brother, retired Boston Municipal Judge Milton Wright, a choir leader and playwright. ``My mother told us where to sit, on the side. The bus driver turned around and said, `Why you sittin' on the white people's chair? You got to move to the back.' He pulled the bus over and got up to move her.''
Rosa Wright would not be moved.
``She stood up with her little umbrella. We all stood up. Somebody white yelled: `Can't you see her with all them children?' We never sat in the back of the bus.''
While she worked, Rosa Wright studied nursing at what was then Miami-Dade Junior College, Betty Wright said. By the mid-1960s, Rosa was working in pediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
The family's spiritual home base was the Pentecostal Firstborn Church of the Living God, demolished by Interstate 95 construction. She ushered at Bethel Apostolic, where she worked with children, Jeanette said.
She was also a nurse in the Miami-Dade public schools, in pediatrics at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and at the Douglas Gardens Jewish Home.
After she retired from nursing, Rosa Wright went on the road with Betty, doing whatever she could to be helpful.
In her last days, she told her children to stop all treatment, because she was ready to go.
In addition to Betty, Jeanette and Milton, Rosa Wright is survived by sons Phillip and Charles Wright of Miami, former calypso musicians who played with the Afro-Beats.
She was predeceased by son Michael and daughter Barbara.

Jane Belsito |
Cleveland Ohio 44101 |
Jane Beth Belsito worked in catering from age 7 into her 73rd and final year of life. She was vice president of Executive Caterers at Landerhaven and the middle of three generations to work there.The long-time Bedford resident died Dec. 3 at Hillcrest Hospital from complications of emphysema.
"Catering is like a circus," said Harlan Diamond, Executive Caterers' president and Belsito's companion. "Jane Belsito was the ringmaster.... Nobody did it better."
Belsito booked $3 million to $4 million worth of parites per year and helped with colleagues' parties, too. She catered days-long events for thousands of people apiece at the Cleveland Convention Center and elsewhere.
"Jane was committed to making every special event at the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame memorable," said the hall's chief executive, Terry Stewart. Belsito considered a career highlight to be the hall's week-long opening.
She was born Jane Davis in Cleveland and learned at 7 to make canapes at home from her mother, caterer Ada Davis. The mother joined the fledgling Executive Caterers in 1965 and brought along Belsito. Belsito's three children pitched in there awhile, too.
Colleagues said she worked long hours and did whatever it took to stage a party and save it. During the infamous storm of July 4, 1969, she helped hold down a lakefront tent in Bay Village until the winds died down.
Friends said Belsito was unbeatable in ping pong and rather beatable at gin rummy. She had season tickets to the Indians.
Her funeral took place at Landerhaven, with Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz handling the arrangements. Survivors include her three children and three grandchildren. |
