Barbara Jean Crocker was born October 31, 1936, in Gleason, Tennessee and passed away peacefully at home on July 6, 2025.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Crandall Crocker; her parents, Imogene and John White, her brothers, Joe and John Thomas White, her two sons, Roger and Mike Crocker and her granddaughter, Dakota Crocker.
Barbara is survived by her four grandchildren Wesley, Leah, Charli, and Toni, seven great grandchildren Tasia, Shae, Kaelynn, Hunter, Keegan, Kara, Aleah, and Ezra and two great greatgrandchildren Clint and Amelia.
Barbara's love and legacy will live on through her extended family, friends, and the many lives she touched. Barbara married Crandall Crocker and together they built a life filled with love, travel, and family. She found joy in many things, including her church, Mt. Pisgah Batist Church, where she was a faithful member, and her time spent with friends at the Milan Senior Citizens Center. Barbara also loved the great outdoors, especially camping at Piney Campground, visiting the Great Smoky Mountains, and cherished the cross-country road trips she took with Crandall and their close-knit group of friends.
Known for her warm heart, unwavering patience, and the unconditional love she gave to all who knew her, Barbara was an example of grace and kindness. Her life was one of service, devotion, and the deep bonds she shared with her family and community. Though she will be deeply missed, her spirit will continue to inspire those who had the honor of knowing her.
Barbara is now happily reunited with those who passed before her, but her love will forever be with us.
A celebration of Barbara's life will be held at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, with visitation and services on 7/10/25. Visitation will be from 1:00pm-2:30pm with services to follow.
The family will receive friends and loved ones for refreshments in the fellowship hall following services.
