We meet Mrs. Barnes when we rented the brick home across the road. She enjoyed watching our oldest play softball outside with my husband and I. My children enjoyed crossing the road and saying hi to her when she was sitting on her porch.
I have a great memory of her. We have a dog that is always getting loose. We had him in a kennel with the 6 ft fencing. Here he was climbing the fence with his paws. Mrs. Barnes happen to see him do this. She said she couldn’t believe it when she saw him stick each paw in the holes of the fence and climb out.
She was a great lady and I am glad I had the chance to get to know her!

To the family of Mrs Fern Barnes: My deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. I wish I could be with you at this time honoring your beloved mother. I had the opportunity to live either beside or across the street from Fern, Janet, and Norma for most of my life in Ohio. Fern made such a positive influence on everyone who had the pleasure to know her. She was cheerfull, courageous and always took such a kind interest in others. Even though she will be dearly missed, we have such wonderful memories of her and know that she is always with us in spirit. Sandy Barnes
