On March 4, 2024, Mabel Ruth Hayes Haynes was called home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ at the age of 84. She was born on October 10, 1939 in Goldsboro, North Carolina to the late Colin
and Estella Hayes. Mabel was baptized at an early age and accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord
and Savior. She was one of eight siblings. Mabel was raised in Philadelphia, PA when her family
relocated from Goldsboro, North Carolina in 1942.
She was educated in the Philadelphia public school system and graduated with honors from Simon Gratz

on to work for several hair salons in Philadelphia, PA and later established her own hair salon in North
Philadelphia, PA.
She was married to the late Bernard Haynes, Sr. Mabel was the mother of two sons, the late Bernard
Haynes, Jr. and Steven Fitzgerald Hayes. Mabel enjoyed cooking a nice meal for her family, making her
clients feel beautiful when they sat in her beautician chair, family gatherings and trips, reading her bible
and watching her favorite television shows from the comforts of her extra beautician chair located in
her home.

Carolyn Dozier (Brian) and Carlene Hayes Mayo (Mitchell). Brother: Clifton Hayes. Grandchildren:
