“Barbara worked for us for the past 5 years in Knoxville. She was a great employee and friend to us all. She always was a professional and always tried her best at everything she did. You always want to enjoy the people you work with, and I certainly did enjoy her company. I will miss her dearly. Bruce Carothers”

“Barbara was my admin for over 5 years. Through those years we expanded and had 3 different office locations in the Knoxville area. She was a professional and always on time. You could count on her whenever there was a need. She was a loyal employee, but above that she was a friend and I will miss her dearly. She brightened our office for the time we had with her, I know she is doing the same in the Heavens above. You will be missed!”

Lea M Jackson wrote a sympathy message

“Barbara had a heart of gold and the kids and I are heartbroken at the news of her passing. My daughter said, “Mom, she helped me get through middle school! She was always there to help me and encourage me when I needed her.” She was so gracious and kind. When I resumed teaching, I had no clothes to wear as all of my ‘work clothes’ were scrubs. This dear, sweet lady took me on a shopping spree and bought new clothes to wear to work and school clothes for the kids. She was such an Angel. ❤️”

“With heartfelt sympathy - Barbara was a beautiful and sweet soul. I really enjoyed the company of she and John the few times I was blessed to be in their company. I really appreciate the way she looked after David at ACCI. She will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. I pray you find peace and comfort. With Love, Heather Cooper”
