Barbara was a hard worker, often having more than one job simultaneously. She was a phone operator, worked in retail sales, and was an equipment operator. She retired from Boeing after her health declined, and she was diagnosed with Lung Disease. Barbara had a servant's heart, enjoyed helping people, and volunteered with the Older Americans Council and other charitable organizations. If anyone came to her in need, she would make sure that they were taken care of in some form or fashion. Barbara was very resourceful and would call friends to also help people in need. She would even give the shirt off her back if it was needed or allow strangers to stay with her when they didn't have anywhere to go. When she was able, Barbara hosted family dinners at her home. She dearly loved her family and delighted in spending time with them. Barbara was a member of Clinchfield Presbyterian Church. She was preceded in death by 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and a grandson, Joey Huckaby.
