Paula Kathleen Barnes

Paula was such a role model to me when I was a preteen/teen. I wanted to be her; her kindness, love, warmth, and encouragement touched my soul and put me on the path of true servant hood. Her spirit will always be near. See you soon Miss Paula ✝

Our family have been friends with the Barnes family for years. Knowing the family from First Southern Baptist Church in Phoenix, AZ. Praying for your family during this time of Paula's passing. Knowing you will see here again in heaven. May God give you peace and comfort. Love you all. Please let us know when an online service will be. Thank you.

Our hearts are hurting at the loss of our lovely friend, Paula. While our parents were friends years before Paula and I were born, we met when she moved to TN in the 1980s. Paula's smile lit up a room when she entered. She loved us, our kids, and our family. Every memory we have of her, is precious. We shared many moments, some of them just silly . She graced us with song at our wedding, and later at my dad's funeral...so very special. Her infectious laughter still makes me smile! ...

While I did not know Paula, her daddy and her brother have been my friends for many years. My sympathies to out to each of them, as well as to the entire Barnes family. Rest in peace.

Dear Barnes Family, I am so saddened to hear of your loss. What a talented young woman she was. No doubt she is singing in the Heavenly choir along with my father, Amos Coffey and my brother, Kent. May God wrap you in his loving arms. In Christian Love, Judy Coffey Antrim

So sad to hear this news! I graduated with Paula from McClintock High School in 1978 and sang in the A Capella Choir with her. Paula had a beautiful voice and hit those high notes with ease and confidence! She was a kind person and lived her faith daily! We can be sure that she is in the arms of Jesus right now and that those who believe will see her again!
My condolences to the Barnes family. God bless you and be your comfort in this extremely difficult time.

Our heart goes out to all who knew and loved Paula and especially her immediate family. She will be greatly missed.

Paula certainly packed a lot of living into the years God gave her. What a blessing she was to so many! I know the family that has gone on ahead of her is rejoicing to have her with them, even as we miss her. Holding all of you that grieve close in our hearts.
