Barbara Broadway Treadway, 81, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, TN. She was born to the Late Jimmy and Vivian Broadway in Olive Branch, MS on June 26, 1941. Barbara retired from Shelby County Government after 20 years and then she worked at Lewisburg High School. There wasn’t many things Barbara didn’t do. She was one of the fire commissioners for Lewisburg Fire Department, main organizer for Olive Branch High School Class Reunions, played piano for Lewisburg Methodist Church, and board member of Boggan Cemetery. Barbara also owned and operated Butterflies Florist in Hernando, MS. She loved playing basketball and traveling to play against other teams. Her teammates became like her sisters. Even though she was a social butterfly and busy, her greatest love was her family. Barbara adored her grandchildren, but her great grandchildren were her heart and soul. There wasn’t a memory she would miss making with them. Barbara was a loving: mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, teammate and will be missed dearly. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, James Broadway. Barbara leaves behind two children, Tina Treadway Hill, Jimmy Treadway, and a brother, Ricky Broadway. She also leaves behind three grandchildren, Vivian Kelsey Lauderdale (Will), Brittney Lee Surman (Luke), Nathan Miller Hill, and three great grandchildren, Lucy Grace Lauderdale, Henry Wayne Surman, and Sadie Kate Lauderdale. Family will receive friends on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, from 5:00pm to 9:00 pm at Brantley Funeral Home, 6875 Cockrum St. Olive Branch, MS 38654. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, December 14, 2022, at 10:00 am at Brantley Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Boggan Cemetery. In a Celebration for Barbara, the family invites friends to join them for a Potluck Meal at Cockrum United Methodist Church Family Life Center after the burial.
