Barbara and Ron were blessed with two sons that grew up surrounded by love, wide open spaces and lots of animals. ( Horses, cows, donkeys, and too many dogs to count). Born to be a caregiver, Barbara nurtured every animal requiring care and her family. As the boys grew, they became involved in baseball. Attending every game, she cheered them on and became the ultimate little league baseball mom. Her hand was always raised to help out with anything that needed to be done. As the boys grew so did their number of friends. She was a "Second Mom" to many. The Lassiter door was always open to one and all.

Mimi was devoted to her grandchildren. She loved spending time with them playing in the backyard pool, their giggles were infectious. Loving and spoiling them was her greatest joy. A cuddle melted her heart.

For more than 35 years she cared for patients at the office of Dr. Alfred Little, Southeastern Heart, and Cone Health Heart where she retired. In addition to working full time in the medical field Barbara was the Farm Manager. After retiring , Barbara cared for her mother in her home until she passed.

As successful and caring as Barbara was, she was never able to keep a plant alive, A "green thumb" she did not have or perhaps, enough time to care for plants.
