Sylvia Woodruff Barber entered her eternal heavenly rest March 29. She was born March 6, 1923 in Palmersville, TN.
Jim and Sylvia lived in Paducah, KY in the early years of their marriage, where both Linda Kay and Patricia were born. Later they lived in several states across the country, as well as spending a couple years in Seoul, Korea with Gulf Oil Corporation. When Jim retired they moved back to their hometown area, Dresden, TN. The Barbers moved to Marion, OH to be nearer to family in 2003.
