Marshall, Ruby Annette Barnes, age 71, passed away Wednesday, June 1st, 2022. Annette was born to Katie Mae Barnes and Fletcher Earl Barnes on June 20, 1950.

She had been a member of the choir, helped arrange all activities, cleaning, kitchen meals, senior trips, and taking pictures of special moments like their annual pumpkin patch. Annette was also proud member of The Order of the Eastern Star.

Left to cherish Annette's beautiful memories will be her beloved husband, Paul Marshall; five children: Laurinda Cooley, Yvette (Scott) Smallwood-Moore, Kyle (Denisce) Smallwood, Amy Robinson, Laura (Jeremy) McCormick; sister, Sandra Kay Barnes; ten grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; many extended family members and numerous wonderful friends.
