Ms. Barbara Jean Mack was born on December 27, 1957 in Sylvester, Georgia to the late Annie Lee Mack and the late Robert Mack.

At an early age, Barbara joined Macedonia Baptist Church where she was also baptized. She attended church faithfully and served as an usher until her health declined. Barbara was educated in the Worth County School system. She was employed at Cagles for many years. Barbara was an inspiring soul. She dedicated her life to helping, encouraging, and caring for anyone she encountered. Barbara’s home was open to everyone, and her hospitality made everyone feel welcome. She was a family- orientated woman and one of the most beautiful souls that anyone could ever meet and let us not forget to mention, Barbara REALLY enjoyed a good time. “Hey BOO” was one of her favorite sayings.

Besides being a good and faithful servant, Barbara was also a wonderful daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. She leaves her legacy of strong faith and hard work to her two loving sons Keysotis Mack Sr. and Lekeywin Mack.
