Barbara Ann Kirksey

A loving mother and homemaker, Barbara was a remarkable cook, baker and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends, most especially over the holidays. She had a big loving heart that had no boundaries. She delighted in meeting new people and was always available to lend an ear and a warm hug to comfort her family and friends.
