Barbara Jean Stephens

Miss Barbara Jean Stephens, age 88 of Maryville, went home to be with her Lord, December 14th, 2020 from Fairpark Health and Rehabilitation Facility. She was a loving sister to Miss Shirley Ann Stephens who preceded her in death earlier this year on May 11th, 2020 and a loving daughter to her parents who preceded her in death, James Calvin Stephens, and Nancy Ann Graves Stephens. Both Barbara and Shirley were faithful members of Grandview Baptist Church for over 77 years. Miss Barbara and her sister Shirley shared their family home on Waters Rd. for over 80 years, most recently with their cat named Sissy. Both Barbara and Shirley attended Union Elementary School and Everett High School. Afterwards they worked at the Creamland Drive In and Barbara would go on to work there for 32 years, walking to and from work almost every day. Miss Barbara loved working in her flowers when she was able, visiting with her many wonderful neighbors, friends, and relatives whether in person or by phone. A special thank you to the staff of Fairpark Health and Rehabilitation and to Mrs. Julie Carpenter of Blount Health Care and Hospice for going above and beyond in taking such loving and excellent care of Miss Barbara.

Family and friends will assemble 3:00 PM, Wednesday, December 16, 2020, at Grandview Pavilion for a graveside service with Rev. Chris Pass officiating. Due to Covid-19 mask and social distancing will be required.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Grandview Baptist Church, P.O. Box 5237, Maryville, TN 37802.
