Barbara Yarbrough, 84, passed away Thursday, September 20, 2018 at Baptist Hospital in Jackson. Funeral services will be held at Lakewood Funeral Home on Clinton Boulevard, Monday, September 24, 2018 at 11am, with visitation from 10am to 11am. Interment will follow at Lakewood Memorial Park.
Mrs. Yarbrough was born on September 18, 1934 in Jackson. A woman of strong and unwavering faith, she prayed daily, studied God’s Word diligently, and claimed Psalm 66:16-20 among her favorite passages. She was a faithful member of Daniel Memorial Baptist Church where she supported their ministry by serving on numerous committees, singing in the choir, and teaching Sunday school for over 42 years. She enjoyed designing floral arrangements, and was the President of Leavell Woods Garden Club.
Barbara was a loving and devoted mother of three daughters, but it was in her grandchildren that she found her true joy. They, in turn, loved her, and will always treasure the memories of her sweet voice greeting them with a familiar, ‘Hey, Darlin’.’ Just as the many lives she touched will always remember her for her charm, grace, loving spirit, and her living example as a true, gentle, and genteel Southern Lady.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Mary Michel Jones; brothers, Kelly and Bobby Jones.
Mrs. Yarbrough is survived by her husband, Cecil Yarbrough; daughters, Linda Yarbrough Putnam (Keith), Lea Ann Yarbrough Warren, Lisa Yarbrough Stofac (Tom); brother, Billy Jones; grandchildren, Alex Warren, Tyler Warren, Eric Warren (Kim), Blake Thames (Holly), Lauren Dickenson (David), Kellie Stofac; great grandchildren, Soren Warren and Emet Dickenson.
