Barbara spent much of her life in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she dedicated her career to the U.S. Customs Office, after receiving a technical degree from Tennessee Tech. College serving her community with diligence and care. Seeking a quieter pace in her later years, she relocated to Valdosta, where she found peace and contentment in the simplicity of life.

Despite the move, she held dear the times spent returning home to Chattanooga with her beloved granddaughter, Jamie, creating treasured memories filled with love and laughter.

Barbara's life was a testament to finding joy in simplicity and embracing each day with warmth and kindness. Her presence will be deeply missed by her family, who remember her as a loving and devoted soul.
