Barbara was born May 23, 1938 to the late Ivera Waller and Inez Mclemore Scherrer; also preceded in death by sister, Beverly Waller.
She was a resident of New Hope and a member of the Temple Bible Methodist Church of Chattanooga. She served the Lord for 60 plus years and lived her life for the day she would live forever in heaven.

It was always a special time for her when all the family would be together.
