Nancy Jo was a spunky, fun-loving, free-spirited soul. She had a deep love for all of her family, friends, and fur babies, but most of all, her grandson, Blayden.

Barnes and wife, Kimberley, and James “JP” Barnes and wife, Melissa; her nieces and nephews, Justin Marshall Harrell and wife, Angie, Matthew Thomas Harrell, Jerry Q. “Trey” Barnes, III, Joseph Preston Barnes, Hannah Rose Barnes Byrd and husband, Hunter, Josie Alexandra Barnes Davis and husband, Alston, Jesse Preston Barnes, Jacob Carlton Barnes, Joshua Edward Barnes, John Alan Barnes, Kristeena Beasley and husband, Allen, Bobbi Jo McBride, Robert Everette, Jr. and wife, Ashley, and Elizabeth Slavin and husband, Keith; great nieces and nephews, Matti, Morgan, Olivia, A.J., and Alex, and her fur baby, Stormi Jo.
