Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Mark: daughter, Lisa, of Charlotte, NC: son, Jonathan; daughter-in-law, Tricia; and grandson, Wyatt, all of Lexington: sister-in-law, Emily Hamby of Lexington: and a number of beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents; her brother, Billy Hamby; and her sister, Sharon “Shebby” Haselden. Barbara loved music and children. A proud graduate of The University of South Carolina, she taught music in Lexington School District No. 2, primarily at Pineview Elementary, and led children’s choirs at St. Andrews Baptist, each for nearly thirty years. She brought laughter with her humor and inspiration with her words. Most of all she tirelessly demonstrated her love for her family throughout her life. Barbara faced the challenges of multiple significant medical conditions, especially in recent years; the family expresses thanks to the medical care providers who offered the best of their skill and compassion in her care. We are grateful, too, for her loving St. Andrews Baptist Church family who affirmed her and shared kindness with us all. Memorials may be made to The St. Andrews Baptist Church Music Ministry.
