 Barbara was a lifelong member of Emmanuel Church where she led women’s Bible Studies and small groups, providing support and encouragement to those in need while being a devoted prayer warrior. She supported the project to build a new sanctuary at Emmanual and traveled on a mission trip to Jerusalem, two treasured experiences of her faith. Bobby Ann’s faith and family were her main priorities, and she orchestrated countless cherished memories for her loved ones that will last a lifetime. She had a passion for baking, cooking, and entertaining, and those who enjoyed her famous peanut butter fudge, banana cake, and hand-stuffed rigatoni felt her love in every bite.

 Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Laurel View Village,” she welcomed new residents, volunteered her time, and faithfully visited many residents throughout the community. The family extends their sincere gratitude to the care providers at Laurel View Village, especially Ronelle, Meagan, and April, who cared for Bobby Ann with such love. Bobby Ann dearly loved her family and friends and devoted her life to serving others.
