In Loving Memory
With deep sorrow, the North Carolina Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs remembers Jacqueline Kacenia “Jones” Hill of Fayetteville, who passed away on September 16, 2025. A devoted federation member and a respected community leader, Ms. Hill opened doors for many with her warm encouragement, mentorship, and tireless service.She served in leadership roles at federation events, including co-chairing a state convention and remained an unwavering of the organization’s mission. Her dedication extended beyond the federation, as she was actively engaged in her church, community initiatives, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
As part of her sorority’s traditions, an Omega Omega Service was held in her honor. This sacred and solemn ceremony serves as Delta Sigma Theta’s final rite of passage, symbolizing the extinguishing of a soror’s candle while affirming that her spirit will continue to shine in the hearts of her sisters.
We extend heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, sorority sisters, church family, and all those whose lives she touched. May her legacy of service continue to inspire and guide us.

President's Message
We Are Because They Were: Continuing A Legacy of Sisterhood, Love and Service, Lifting as We Climb”
“We Are Because They Were: Continuing A Legacy of Sisterhood, Love and Service, Lifting as We Climb”, speak to our legacy, our history, and our stories. We must honor our triumphs as we celebrate those experiences that bring self-discovery, healing and empowerment. From the dark chapters of slavery to the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement, and the ongoing struggle for equality, preserving our history is not just about remembering the past; it's about shaping our future. The NCFCWCYAYC has a proud history, its founder, state presidents and members have contributed much as we work to prepare our youth and young adults to become leaders in our community.
