Barbara Lamb Otwell, 82, of Franklinville, NC, peacefully passed away at her home on the morning of November 17, 2025.

A Memorial Service will be held for Barbara on Monday, November 24, 2025, at Full Gospel Bible Church of God (736 W. Main Street, Franklinville, NC, 27248) with Pastor Terry Batchelor officiating. Visitation will be from 12:00-12:45 P.M.; the service will begin at 1:00 P.M. Burial will follow at Randolph Memorial Park in Asheboro. The service will be recorded live through the Full Gospel Bible Church of God Facebook page, for those who are unable to attend.

Barbara was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and a faithful friend to all. Her first love was her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She lived a life fully dedicated to Him, allowing His light and love to be shown to all through her. She was known for her quiet, gentle, and meek spirit. As well as her genuine heart and willingness to serve others; always putting others needs before her own. She was a faithful member at her church, Full Gospel Bible Church of God, where she helped serve as a custodian for several years. She most loved spending time with her family (especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren), preparing the most delicious dinners and desserts for them, putting puzzles together, and eating banana splits whenever she got the chance.

Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Alfred Clarence and Mary Magdalene Lamb; brothers, Robert and Reece Lamb; sisters, Judy Shealy, Kay Long, and Dorothy "Dot" Millikan; and great-grandson, Jonathan Luke Wiggins. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Robert "Jake" Otwell; children, Tammy (Jeffrey) Batchelor of Franklinville, and Tom Otwell of Asheboro; grandchildren, Christy (Junior) Gilmore of Staley, and Kayla (Michael) Wiggins of Asheboro; great-grandchildren, Josiah Wiggins, Eli Gilmore, and Lydia Wiggins; siblings, Bill Lamb of Denton, Mary Moore of Sophia, Nancy Tullock of Climax, Charles Lamb of Seagrove, and Ricky Lamb of Thomasville. She is also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ, all whom she loved dearly.

The family would like to express a sincere, "Thank you" to Randolph Health StayWell Senior Care and Hospice of Randolph County for the quality care and compassion shown to our beloved Barbara.

Sis Barbara is one of the most loving and caring people I have ever known. She loved the Lord Jesus and her life showed it. We will all miss her and we look forward to seeing her again.
