https://obituaries.valdostadailytimes.com/obituary/ann-barber-1081931230
Ann Blankenship Barber, 87, passed away peacefully in Cumming, GA on Wednesday, March 31,
2021. She was born February 11, 1934 and raised in Valdosta, GA, daughter of
the late Robert Blankenship and Nellie Burke Blankenship.
Ann was the head majorette in her high school marching band. She
twirled fire which is so very much like her personality. She earned a
scholarship to Valdosta State College for her achievements as a majorette. She
chose instead to support her husband, Ralph, and begin a family. She worked
briefly for Allstate in Austell, GA and in medical records at Cobb General
Hospital. The beach was her favorite place to be and she spent 17 years living
in Panama City Beach, FL before returning to Georgia. Ann had a personality
that was full of life and very contagious. She rarely met a stranger and never
backed away from a challenge. Her perseverance was admirable. If there was an
obstacle in front of her, she could figure out a way to overcome it. She loved
all animals, children, people, yardwork and flowers. She could make anything
grow. She could fix anything and do anything. Her favorite saying was
"Can't Never Could Do Nothing!" I remember feeling, as a child, that
there was nothing she couldn't do. She built things, sewed things and was
always involved in all our activities - coaching, encouraging and supporting.
Although Ann was a strong woman on the surface, once past her strong exterior,
God brought forth some of the sweetest, most sincere moments with her. Her life
will be carried on through the life of her family for generations to come.
In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her sister, Louise, and brothers, Johnny and James, and grandchildren, Greg Melton, Jr. and
Samuel Elliott Black.
Survivors include her children, Paula Alford (Guy), Katherine
Urquhart (Dennis), Brenda Elmore (Carey), Leigh Black (Shane), and Ralph Barber,
Jr. (Patti); her grandchildren, Dodi, John, Curtis, Kristin, Brian, Ashley,
Samantha, Trey, Grace Anne, Lindsey, Emma Kate, Margaret, Anna Claire, and
Joshua, along with 10 adorable great grandchildren.
Memorial services will be at 2:00 pm, Wednesday, April 7, 2021, in
the Chapel at Henderson & Sons Funeral Home, North Chapel, Rome, GA, with
the Rev. Warren Lathem officiating.

Mrs. Laura Blankenship, 94, passed away on Sunday March 21, 2021 in Nacogdoches. She was
born on January 10, 1927 in Chireno, Texas. to Guy Layton, Sr. and Alma Palmer Layton. She was the fifth of twelve children.

Laura loved The Lord and was a dedicated and long-time member of

was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
If there was a baby in the house, you would hear the creak of the
rocking chair as she did what she loved the best…rocking that “bitsy
baby”. Laura was kind, loving and
dedicated to her family. She taught many
lessons during her 94 years, including how to love each other and be
respectful. Her life was filled with
family and friends but most importantly it was filled with unfaltering
love. If you were her family, she loved
you without boundaries. She always took
the time to listen to stories and even added a few of her own memories and
experiences along the way. Her family
was more important to her than anything, taking a second only to the love she
had for her Savior. She will forever be
remembered as the rock of the family and the one who loved them, even when the
leaves were falling from the trees.
