Barbara Gore

Barbara Benson Gore, age 75, passed away on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones. She was a dedicated agent and project manager in the building of the Sterling Gate subdivision in Alabaster, AL for over 10 years. She was a visionary behind the development of higher-end homes that were not considered appropriate for the market at the time, which helped to elevate the growth and prosperity of the City of Alabaster. Barbara was also well known for her cooking at the Blue House Café, especially her cornbread and cinnamon rolls. She treated longtime friends like they were a part of the family. She was a hardworking, dynamic, encouraging, creative wife and mother. Barbara had a can-do attitude and always encouraged others to be their best. She had many artistic talents including excelling in playing the piano.

She is preceded in death by her parents, David L. Benson and Helen L. Benson and two brothers. Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Raymond E. Gore; sons, Gregory R. Gore and Gerald W. Gore; daughter-in-law, Jeanette B. Gore (married to Gerald); one brother, one sister, and a host of nieces and nephews.
