Born in Durham, NC, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Millie Barbour Garrett. Barbara was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend. She enjoyed attending her sons sporting events and was a faithful member of Buncombe Street United Methodist Church where she volunteered for many years. After retiring as a Registered Nurse from Greenville Hospital System, she and her husband traveled to the capital of every state making many fond memories on those trips.
She is survived by her three sons, John Aaron Beam, III (Beverly) of Nashville, TN, Robert Garrett Beam (Susan) of Greenville, SC, and David Anthony Beam (Cora) of Raeford, NC; three grandchildren, Mary Cathryn Armstrong of Savannah, GA and Chris and Matthew Beam, both of Raeford, NC; and one sister, Joy Ward (Gus) of Spartanburg, SC.
Graveside services will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, December 26, 2020 at Woodlawn Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Congregational Care Services of Buncombe Street United Methodist Church, 200 Buncombe Street, Greenville, SC 29601, a ministry that was near and dear to Barbara as she volunteered with, and received the services of this ministry.
