Barbara Ann Walker, age 85, of Greenback, Tennessee passed away peacefully on the morning of September 3, 2022 at Shannondale Health Care Center in Maryville, Tennessee. Barbara had dementia and other health issues but gracefully transitioned to God’s care.

Barbara was born on October 27, 1936, to Harold and Cynthia Orean Reynolds in Troy, N.C. She was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Barbara always had a beautiful smile for everyone and looked forward to family gatherings and friends over.
