Barbara Smith Griffin, 88, of Nashville left this world on Thursday, July 8, 2021. Barbara Smith married Charles W. Griffin, Junior on November 25, 1954.

A life-long learner, Barbara was a graduate of the formerly known Peabody College. Barbara was one of the first hired by the newly created Ensworth School in 1962 and served as the school's librarian for more than 26 years. She was a great lover of books and avid reader and shared that love of words with thousands of students and her friends throughout her life.
In addition to Charles, she was preceded in death by her parents and in-laws. She will be missed dearly by her friends and neighbors as well as her cat Tiger 2.
A Gathering of family and friends will be held from one until three o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, July 16, 2021 at Mount Olivet Funeral Home, with burial to follow.
