Barbara Beard Castleman

Of all the many things I hate about technology and social media, this might be the only good thing. Being reminded of the exemplars of grace, kindness and love that influence our lives is a blessing that carries forward. WLR

I think of Barbara every time I make a bed. There was only one way to make a bed and it was Barbara´s way......with bunny ears pulled up. In fact there was only one way to do everything......Barbara´s way. But......if I had suffered a spot of dementia, she would have quietly had it redone without letting me know my error. She was a formidable matriarch and wore the crown gracefully. If you passed Barbara´s standards, you were golden. All families need a Barbara. She was the center of her...

Dear cousins and your families,

Your Mom was one of my favorites! I have fond memories from way back when and she's even in some of our family movies at The Giltner's Lake. The Jackson family loved coming for Christmas Eve and helping decorate your tree! Mom & Dad had many fun times with your parents(Uncle Jim) and I remember them coming for Dove Hunts, too. He told me that I would hide his shoes. (the good ones he changed out of for hunting). I send hugs to each of you and the peace...

She was the epitome of a Kentucky" woman for me. Strong, principled, kind and loyal. I am honored to have known Barbara and will never forget her. She set the bar high and her family all carry her standard forward. Bravo Barbara, well done.

Your family was truly blessed to have shared so many years and memories with your dear mother. May those memories bring you peace and solace during the days ahead when you think of her. May the God of all comfort support each of you during your time of mourning.

Barbie, I never met your mother but I feel like I knew her from the amazing stories you would tell us. Sad to hear about your loss. Thinking of you and your family.
