A proud patriot, Ensign Barbara Carolina May Alderson, age 103 years young, served honorably and faithfully in the United States Navy as a Nurse. Mrs. Alderson approached every chapter of her 103 remarkable years with enthusiasm, courage, and a determination to see what more life had to offer after her service to our country. Athletic from a young age, she played golf passionately well into her 90s. During her golfing years, she proudly recorded eight holes-in-one. Her love of sport extended beyond golf; she bowled, gardened, and competed in the South Carolina Senior Games, where she earned multiple gold medals for her dominant performance in golf. True to her adventurous nature, she celebrated both her 90th and 92nd birthdays by parachuting out of an airplane—an experience she thoroughly loved. During her 100th birthday celebration, Mrs. Alderson was presented the Quilt of Valor for her service and sacrifice in serving our Nation.

Mrs. Alderson’s life was a testament to embracing every opportunity, meeting every challenge, and never backing down from a new adventure. She will be remembered for her vitality, courage, humor, and the joy she found in living fully. The family and community of Chester, South Carolina invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand for Ensign Alderson, and it is our honor to do so.

This is a one-part mission consisting of a flag line for the graveside service.
