Barbara Feagans
Barbara Clapp Feagans, 74, died peacefully on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
Barbara had courageously battled cancer for almost six years. She was born Nov. 15, 1940, in Princeton, IN. Her family moved to Chattanooga in 1951. She was a 1958 graduate of Red Bank High School.
Barbara worked at Thrasher Elementary School and in admissions at The Baylor School before moving to Crye-Leike Realty as the marketing director. She was incredibly creative and compassionate and served all of these roles with unsurpassed dignity and professionalism.
Barbara was an incredible wife, mother, and grandmother. She never missed a performance, presentation, recital, or banquet for one of her children or grandchildren. Her family was her pride and joy and she would share her love for them all with everyone she met. There was nothing she would not do for any of them.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Kermit and Edith Clapp; in-laws, Horace and Fannie Feagans; daughter-in-law, Julie Feagans; and brother-in-law, Dana Wilbourn.
Barbara is survived by her husband, H.W. Feagans, Jr. “Dub”; son, D. Mark Feagans of Chattanooga; daughter, Allyson Millican and husband Brian of Chattanooga; sister, Sue Clapp Jones (Carl) of Lake Placid, FL; brother, Stephen K.
