I worked as Patricia's dept. head for nearly 3 years at the Bonsack Walmart (from the time it was first opened, until about 2 years ago). Pat was a sincere, and very nice woman. I still remember when customers would come in ask for her only to mix their paint! She was reliable, and never seemed to get irritated or mad about anything. She will be missed, and may the lord be with you and your family at your time of need.

Dear Barker Family, You dont know me, but Ms. Barker waited on me numerous times, trying to pick out colors and so on. We lived in The Orchards Apts. So I was at Walmart every day. I am so sorry for your loss, Ms. Barker was the sweetest person ever. May God Bless your family.

Dear Mr Barker and Family:
My sincere sympathy goes out to all of you. Pat was a wonderful friend and co-worker and will be missed more than you know. We had pictures of a lot of us waving to Pat and the Pastor would have taken them for her to see but the Lord took her first. If there is anything we can do please let us know.
In Christain Love
