I just learned about the passing of Barbara. I send my heartfelt condolences to the family. I was able to get to know her while she worked at Coca-Cola. She was such a wonderful lady who was always kind and easy to talk too. I am very sorry for the pain you must feel as you grieve today, but I am hopeful that one day soon her memory will produce a smile instead of a tear. Rest in peace. ~Tyler Simpson

Barbara was more than a colleague at Coca-Cola, she cared about people and made sure I had a smooth landing and onboarding when I moved from Coke Brazil to Corporate.

Ms. Barbara will be missed greatly. Every memory that I have of her is a positive one. She was always there to lend an ear and encourage me when I was having a hard time.

My deepest condolences to the family of Ms Barbara. She was a kind soul and great co-worker. She will be truly missed.. Teri Bynes Ga Pacific

To my family: I am so hurt and saddened by the passing of my beloved cousin and BFF, Barbara A. Fanning. I grew up calling her "Red". We held a special bond for many years. From little girls, to teenagers, to young women, and even today as grown women. We were like peas and carrots, always there for each other. I am done being sad because I know she had a special relationship with our mighty GOD. As I move forward without my cousin/friend wi remarkable smile and laughter, I realize that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD". I will always love and miss you "Red". Gloria Jean Ray Hatchett

Barbara was a member of my church and I've known her for a very long time and we have shared conversation about pass and present. She was always pleasant and friendly and I will miss her presence at church because there will be an empty spot where she usually sit.

Ms. Barbara, you will be truly missed. You was such a kind and gracious neighbor. We have a promise from Jehovah God at Revelation 21;3,4...no more mourning nor tears nor death. The former things have pass away. Joanne and family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Auntie was always kind and welcoming. I will forever cherish memories of watching movies and discussing politics. May God surround you all with comfort and peace.

~Nikia

My wife Alba and I had a strong connection with Barbara. I had the pleasure to work very closely with Barbara for about 20 years at The Coca-Cola Company.

Rest in peace, dear Barbara. I will miss you. Edison Geromel
