It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Avis Latrelle Calhoun Barber, a devoted mother and loving wife, who left us peacefully on December 17, 2024, in Jackson, Georgia. She was born November 18, 1943, in Newnan, Georgia, to the late Solomon and Ada Calhoun. She was the heart and soul of our family, known for her unwavering love, compassion, and strength. Avis dedicated her life to caring for those she loved, always putting others before herself. Her kindness, warmth, and infectious smile touched everyone she met. She was a source of support, guidance, and joy; her memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Avis will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love will continue to inspire us all. She is preceded in death by her husband, Harold Barber, Sr.
A graveside service will be held for Avis on Monday, December 23, 2024, at 1:00 PM at Westminster Memorial Gardens, 2090 Highway 54, Peachtree City, Georgia 30269, with Pastor John Dewberry officiating.
Condolences may be expressed online at www.mckoon.com.

My sweet lady. Avis finally made it to Newnan. I work in the facility where she lived. She was notorious for getting out the door and heading to Newnan. She kept me on my toes. I'm sad that she is gone but I know she's not hurting anymore. She is missed terribly. She had stories to tell if you sat and listened. She would laugh like nobody was watching when she was in her room. I will miss her so much. I looked forward to seeing her every day.
One of the
caregivers,
