BARBARA STRINGFELLOW Obituary
BARBARA LOUISE, 63
1955 - 2018
Barbara Louise Stringfellow died on Monday, November 5, 2018, in Gainesville, Florida. She was 63. A lifelong resident of Gainesville, her parents were Fred Buford Stringfellow and Mary Graham Stringfellow. Barbara was a fifth generation descendant of pioneering early Alachua county settlers. She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Nancy Stringfellow Farnsworth from Tampa, Florida.
Barbara was a 1973 graduate of P.K. Yonge Laboratory School and attended Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, leaving to work full time at Stringfellow Supply Company, a building materials business in Gainesville started by her grandfather, where she and her cousin, Jim Stringfellow, Jr., were vice-presidents of the company.
When Stringfellow Supply Company was purchased by Gulfeagle Supply of Tampa, Barbara stayed with the company at their Gainesville branch as senior accounts manager, retiring in 2015 to enjoy time with her husband, Carl Register, at their Lake Santa Fe home.
Barbara was an enthusiastic reader, along with interests in music, art, genealogy, cooking, environmental preservation, her cat Trippy, and traveling to Africa with her mother on photographic safaris, mostly in Kenya. She served on the Board of Directors at Haile Historic Homestead and Evergreen Cemetery. Survivors include her husband, Carl Register, and a brother, Sandy Stringfellow.
A Memorial Service will take place at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church on Friday, November 16, at 11:00 A.M., with refreshments inside Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Stringfellow Chapel, and the Lillycroft Room served after the service.

I am so sorry for the loss of Barbara. Many years ago we were all at Kingsley Lake together. I have enjoyed her postings of Old Florida and also of our family at a much earlier time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Barbara was a very dear childhood friend of mine. She would ride ponies with me at my grandmother's , I would swim in her pool !! Not only did the Stringfellow's have a swimming pool but the first color TV among our friends. We were in Brownies together along with Nancy, Lynn, Heather, Joanie, Nell, Leonora, Lily, Martha, Hebe, Suzie....and other little girls that I know but can't name !

I have loved you Cousin Barbara so much since I met you when I was 4 years old in 1961 for the extended family photograph with Grand Dads' Convertible Car in front of Uncle Jimmy's house. There were 2 Grand Parents, 4 Aunts, and Uncles each, and 13 cousins. It was a magic era to be alive in America and I am glad I got to spend it with you and all my wonderful family members! We, cousins, are the 5th generation Stringfellows from Gainesville. Now there is the 6th and soon the 7th generation too. I'll see you in heaven someday if I have been taught the truth. Much love, Mark Christian Stringfellow
