Aubrey Katherine Barnes

Aubrey Katherine Seitz was born on March 25, 1988 in Ft. Bragg, NC. She was the first-born child to Dena (and Terry) Bacon and Robert (and Sandra) Seitz. The first granddaughter and first great granddaughter.
As a baby Aubrey did everything early, as a toddler she walked for a moment then took off to see the neighborhood with her trusty dog always close beside. She swam like a fish before she was 2 and took off the training wheels at 3. Aubrey was brave, she never met a stranger and was always ready for the next adventure, anytime, anywhere.
Aubrey graduated from Savanna High School in May 2006. She worked at Balls BBQ for many years and greatly enjoyed and loved those she worked with and the customers. Aubrey loved to go boating on the lake, fish, hunt arrowheads, dance and sing (even though she could never remember the words). She brought excitement to every gathering with family and friends.
She decided to go to CNA school and loved caring for patients. While working full time she attended LPN school and was so very happy and proud when she graduated. She excelled as a Nurse, loved her patients, caring deeply for each one; and her nursing friends were wonderful mentors and guides. She wanted to do more with her nursing career and there is no doubt she would have accomplished much.
Aubrey was happy, loved her children deeply, smiled, her big beautiful smile, and laughed with complete joy. She would want us to live completely, laugh and don't hold it in, sing loud, love hard and make better choices.
