Barbara Bates Neff

I first met Barbara during a time of personal tragedy.

Our conversations spanned 30 years.

She was truly kind, giving, and supportive. She was a remarkable champion of her children and an unforgettable person.

I was privileged to know
Barbara Neff as friend, colleague (at General Convention), and as a dedicated and knowledgeable Christian person. All my best to her family, and I will miss her. Fr. Jim Abernathey

Barbara was by far one of the most influential persons I have ever known. I had the privilege of serving with her in numerous capacities for the Episcopal Church. I can say with all sincerity that Barbara was an extremely important mentor to me. She was fearless, determined and so wise as a leader. I will live out my life being thankful for her friendship and leadership. She leaves behind a huge legacy and will be sorely missed. She lived out her Christian witness in everything she did and the great love she shared with family, friends and countless people whose lives were touched by her life and ministry.
