Barbara was a precious lady who loved and served her Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a faithful and loving wife of Noel for 54 years. She was an amazing mother who did and would do anything for her daughter and grand ones. She loved to keep an immaculate home and yard for her family. Barbara loved working outdoors in her flowers. It seemed she had the greenest thumb ever. She could take things that seemed long gone and lovingly bring them back to life. She found that hard work outside brought peace to her soul. Her family and friends can only imagine the deeply rooted joy she is experiencing now with Jesus, her Creator, the creator of those beautiful flowers in the garden. 

Visitation is 2:00 PM, Sunday, September 17, 2023 at Heber Springs Funeral Home followed by the funeral service at 3:00 PM. The interment is at Antioch Cemetery in Drasco, Arkansas.
