She was born on Wednesday, January 9, 1935 in Columbus, Georgia to Henry Washburn and Ruby Howard Washburn. Barbara was a faithful and active member of Elder Congregational Christian Church where she served in many positions.
She was a great seamstress and dedicated matriarch who always made sure that her family was well fed and well loved.

In her spare time, she could never get enough of watching her favorite movie, "Gone With the Wind," or classic Westerns, such as "Gunsmoke."

Her gentle spirit will never be forgotten in the hearts of all that had the pleasure of knowing her.
