Barbara Howard Mathes was a beautiful soul who loved with her whole heart. She was the best mother, sister, mamaw, and friend you could ask for. She spent most of her free time reading her bible as she was devoted to the Lord, and spending time with those she loved. She was loved by all of those who knew her, and will be missed more and more as each day passes. Her family has peace knowing she is now with her heavenly Father, and will be at ease as they carry their guardian angel with them wherever they go.
