Scope and Content Note
The Jean Richards Roddey Scrapbook documents the life and lasting influence of Jean Lisle Richards Roddey (1909–2003), a Winthrop alumna (Class of 1929) and longtime Director of Joynes Hall, the faculty residence and dining hall, during the 1950s and 1960s. The scrapbook was presented to Mrs. Roddey on June 5, 1999, in honor of her 90th birthday by former Winthrop students whom she mentored.
The scrapbook contains letters written by former Winthrop students who worked with Mrs. Roddey during her tenure at Joynes Hall. Each letter reflects on her guidance and encouragement and includes a senior-year photograph of the student as well as contemporary family photographs. Many of the contributors were recipients of Joynes Hall Dining Room Scholarships and credit Mrs. Roddey’s kindness and mentorship as instrumental to their personal and academic success at Winthrop.
Together, the materials in the scrapbook illustrate Mrs. Roddey’s significant role in student life at Winthrop University and highlight the enduring impact of her support on generations of students.
