Agnes Marie Campbell Barnes

Agnes Marie Campbell Barnes, a devoted servant of God, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on July 29, 2025, at her residence in the Howell Community, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on June 22, 1936, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, Agnes was the daughter of the late Paul Morgan Campbell and Dorothy Wiggs Campbell. Throughout her life, Agnes exemplified unwavering faith and a selfless spirit. She was a dedicated wife, a nurturing mother, a doting grandmother, and great-grandmother, always putting her family first.
Agnes's love language was undoubtedly acts of service, particularly through her exceptional cooking. She found joy in preparing meals and serving her beloved family, friends, church community, and neighbors. Her kitchen was a place of warmth and comfort, where countless memories were made. Agnes also enjoyed sewing.
A faithful and active member of Howell Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Agnes's Christian walk was a testament to her profound belief and steadfast devotion.
Agnes is survived by her loving children: Paul L. (Elaine) Barnes, Tim (Dora) Barnes, Chuck (Karen) Barnes, and Lisa Barnes Sisk. Her legacy continues through her twelve grandchildren and twenty-five great-grandchildren, who brought immeasurable joy to her life. She also leaves behind a host of extended family members and special friends who will dearly miss her presence.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 55 years, Wayne Lloyd Barnes; her sister, Gene Adler and her husband, Alan; and her son-in-law, Danny Sisk.
Visitation with the family will be from 5 PM until 8 PM on Friday, August 1, 2025, and 8 AM until the time of service at 10 AM, on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Higgins Funeral Home with Bro. Todd Gaskill officiating. Burial will follow in the Unity Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Howell Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 43 Brown Teal Rd, Fayetteville, TN 37334 or the Fabulous Fifties Foundation, P.O. Box 934, Fayetteville, TN 37334.
Agnes's family rejoices in the assurance of her eternal peace, finding solace in the words of Matthew 25:23: "Well done, good and faithful servant." Her life was a beautiful reflection of her deep faith and boundless love.
