Barbara Blondine Doble

She was born in Camden, SC on September 1st, 1933 to the late Pat Wiggins. Barbara cherished every minute of being a mom and homemaker until her children were grown. At that time, she worked as a note teller for many years at First Union National Bank. Barbara and her late husband, Howard, also traveled the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic attending craft shows and operating their craft business.

Barbara brought so much joy to her family all through the years. She loved to dance the shag, to sing, to craft and paint, to decorate for any and every holiday and occasion...and passed that love of holidays down to her children. She was a voracious reader, queen of the crossword puzzle, and loved her Lord with all her heart.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Howard R. Doble Jr., and son, Howard R. Doble III.

Survivors include son, Michael Doble (Darlene) of Banner Elk; daughters, Colleen Comer (Bob) of Conover and Patty Johnson (Darrell) of Hickory; grandchildren, Jennifer Doble, Lauren Style (Chuck), Katie Doble, Jordan Bost (Nathan), Jay Johnson (Bridget), Mark Comer (Carter), Michael Comer (Sarah), Carrigan Pennypacker (Eric), and Madison Doble; and great-grandchildren, Drew Settlemyre, Ryan Settlemyre, J.R. Style, Theo Bost, and Cayce Pennypacker.
