Barbara’s husband of 63 years, Bobby Lewis Wade, passed away shortly before her on March 25, 2020.

Left to cherish her memory are two daughters, Cynthia W. Barb (Mike) and Tina W. Martin (David); three sisters, Jerry A. Batchelor, Debbie D. Smith (Mike) and Luci A. Dupree; four grandchildren Justin L. Barb, Heather L. Barb, Ashley M. Causey (Neil) and Wade A. Martin; and two great-grandchildren, Annabelle and Scarlett Causey.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, Barbara and Bobby will have a private service and burial.
