Barbara was a faithful servant of Jesus Christ all of her life, she had a very personal relationship with her savior.

Barbara was long standing member of Green Valley Baptist Church and dedicated much of her time to singing in the church choir, attending numerous bible studies and actively participating in many church and faith-based organizations. Barbara joyfully served on the Salvation Army’s Woman’s Auxiliary Board an organization very near & dear to her heart, where she helped organize & facilitate many events throughout the LV Valley. Barbara could be found on any given weekend, serving meals at the local Mission where she delighted in sharing a gentle touch along with a prayer of encouragement to a person in need of hearing the promises of God. She was a woman of strong faith and conviction who prayed fervently for her family, friends and anyone she met that asked, she expressed love every day of her life in ways that brought honor to the Lord and never missed an opportunity to tell you that she loved you. She will be missed beyond definition, but we take great comfort in knowing that that she is now in her forever-home with her savior Jesus Christ hearing the words -well done my good and faithful servant.
