Patsy Ruth Barnes passed from this world safely into the arms of Jesus on Wednesday, July 31, 2013.
Daughter of the late W.M. and Dorothy Reeves, Pat was born on December 2, 1931 and grew up in southwest Missouri. She graduated from Noel High School in 1949 and later moved to Kansas City to work.
There she met and married Clayton K. Barnes in January, 1953. They became parents of three children, Candace, Linda and Keith. The family moved to Mound City in July of 1969 where Pat was a resident until very recently.
Prior to being struck with dementia, Pat was an active member of the Mound City Baptist Church, the Omega Club, had served as a GFWC District officer as well as a State committee member, and served as a Board member of Missouri Girls Town, a cause which especially touched her heart. For many years she organized and accompanied area high school students to Jefferson City for their Sophomore Pilgrimage trip.
Pat was employed most of her adult life in a wide variety of jobs. While in Mound City, she worked for Dr. Gibbs, Pettijohn and Crawford, Dr. Humphrey, Tiffany Heights and Breadeaux Pizza. Widowed in 1971, Pat found Mound City a positive place to raise her children and live, and always felt a welcomed and supported part of the community.
Pat was preceded in death by her parents, W.M. and Dorothy Reeves; siblings Dorothy Roeckel and Jack Reeves; husband, Clayton; and granddaughter, Sara Francis.
She is survived by her children, Candace Barnes, Linda Francis and husband, Terry, of Logan, Iowa, Keith Barnes and wife, Gayle, of Yellville, Arkansas, grandchildren Andrew Francis, Anna Allen and Shannon Layton, great-grandchildren Stephen Francis, John, Hayley and Olivia Layton, sister, Linda Martin and husband Normen of Decatur, Arkansas, nieces Patty Gage and Judy Risse and nephews Scott Reeves and John Martin, and friends.
Services will be held Saturday, Aug. 3, 2013 at the Chamberlain Funeral Home in Mound City. Memorials may be sent to the Mound City Baptist Church or Missouri Girls Town, Kingdom City, Missouri. Burial will be at Mount Hope Cemetery.
