Barbara was born on January 14, 1942 in Bolivar, TN, the daughter of the late William Franklin Hill and Nannie Mae Young Hill.

She will be deeply missed by her friends, family and all those who knew her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one brother Gary Hill of Jackson TN.
