Barbara was a long-time resident of the area and a homemaker. She loved her friends and family and was greatly loved by them. She lit up a room when she entered and managed to make an impact on everyone she met. Barbara spent years praying and studying the word with her best friends, Virginia Wilson and Teila Barnes. They kept their friends and families covered in prayer. Barbara and T.C. also enjoyed the fellowship of their train domino friends. She is remembered by family children, church children, and neighborhood children as being fun-loving. She loved entertaining children in her home. Many have memories of her well-known slumber parties. Barbara loved teaching young people about Jesus. She spent many years teaching Sunday school classes, Bible school classes, and creating awesome crafts for the Bible schools. She always had a gift of hospitality. Many have eaten a special meal at her table, and womens groups and others have gathered for elaborate dinner parties that were always filled with fun and laughter. Barbara loved the beauty of nature and created beauty around her. She had lovely flower beds and loved the outdoors. She also loved reading and studying books about the old saints who poured out their lives with Jesus. Barbara carried the love of Jesus with her. We will miss you dear wife, mama, sister, grandma, friend, and prayer partner. We look forward to the day we rejoice with you again on the other side of eternity.
