Jamezetta Bedford: Advocate for Autism and Public Service

Orange County Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford, a tireless advocate for autism awareness and community service, has passed away at 67 following complications from hernia surgery. Elected in 2018 and re-elected in March, she brought her CPA expertise and deep personal commitment to public office, having previously served over a decade on Chapel Hill-Carrboro’s school board. Her journey into public service began when her family moved to Chapel Hill in 1992 to access autism services for their daughter — a mission that shaped her life’s work. In honor of her legacy, her family asks for donations to Camp Royall, the Autism Society of North Carolina, where she was a passionate supporter.
