She was born on June 18, 1934 in Louisville, KY to the late Adonyah Blaine Graham and Ola Mable Stewart. She was the youngest of four children and a native of Louisville, growing up in the highlands and graduating from Atherton Girls School. She had recently moved to Brownsboro Park Independent Living on Goose Creek Road, and was happier than she had ever been. She talked about Brownsboro Park with such enthusiasm and excitement and of all the people she already knew, as well as all the new people she was meeting. She shared "Everyone is so friendly here" and enjoyed all the services, wonderful gourmet food, and kind helpful employees. She was beginning to really enjoy life again, after the passing of her late husband of 35 years, Howard Massey, last September. Barbara was a retired Credit Union Manager from Tube Turns and was known for her faith, service for others, and love for her family. Barbara was
a long-time member of Watkins Memorial United Methodist Church on Westport Road, and enjoyed the Compass Club and Birthday Club. She is survived by her only child, Mark Carr (Donna) of Prospect, her brother Stewart Graham (Delle) of Atlanta, GA, step daughters Deborah Masten (Keith) of Frisco, TX, and Lizabeth Meyer of Memphis, TN, and step son John Robert Hill of Vineyard Haven, MD. Her grandchildren, Ryan Carr (Amy), Karen Carr Baker (Logan), Brooke Meyer Trentlage (Ben), Michael Meyer and friend Megan Gentry, and Ashley Kujawa (Sean).
8 great grandchildren; Paxton and Hudson Carr; Lucy, Everett, and quadruplets Luke, Eloise, Ruby, and Annie Baker, and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
Visitation will be held 3 pm to 7 pm Thursday, and 10 am to 11am Friday, with a service to celebrate the life of Barbara Massey at 11 am in the chapel of Arch L. Heady & Son, 7410 Westport Road, with burial to follow at Resthaven Memorial Park Cemetery at 4400 Bardstown Road.
