You have my sympathy at this time of loss. She and Roy were great neighbors for may years. Barby was a tireless secretary/treasurer for the Condo association for many years also. May the memories you all share of the good times be special to you all.
Love and prayers,

Anita, Brenda, & families: I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Barb’s death. It brought back many memories of Christmases in the old national home, all of us kids sleeping on the floor, so excited; playing table games; playing records & dancing in the bedroom. She was an amazing seamstress–my son Dylan still has a stuffed Santa she made him & puts it out every Christmas…in fact, it was out last month! She also was always kind to me & a great godmother. Sending love to all of you.

I am not sure whether anyone in the family knew that Roy had a daughter born in 1954 to Virginia Harrison of Gallatin TN. He went off to the army and they never married. I am that daughter, Wynoka Lewis and I live in Marion IN I last saw him when I was 4 years old. I never tried to locate him until 2017 and he had died the year before. I tried to locate Larry or Ron Sadler who wrote condolences after he died. Another friend Earl Grant who still lives in Gallatin also wrote a condolence and I met with him in 2018 and he told me about my dad in his teen years at Gallatin High School and I took a picture of him in the yearbook. I have tried to locate the graves of his parents Aurora and William but have not yet been successful. I believe they called her Nell. My middle name is Wynell, maybe after her? My mother died in 1988 and I never really asked her much about my father. If anyone from the family would like to contact me I would really like that. Not to intrude on anyone’s life but to tell me about him. That’s all I really want.
