Mrs. Barbara Jean York Patrick, age 70

Of Camden, TN, formerly of Waverly, TN passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, January 2, 2026. She was born on December 23, 1955, in Hayti, Missouri.

Barbara spent her formative years in Ridgely, TN before making the significant move to Waverly at the age of 14 alongside her mother. This transition marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, where she became a beloved member of her community.

Growing up, Barbara discovered her passion for basketball during her high school years. Not only did she excel on the court, but she also forged friendships through the game. Her competitive spirit was matched only by her kindness and support for her teammates.

Barbara also found joy in the natural world. She loved spending time outdoors, embracing every opportunity to fish and immersing herself in nature's beauty.

Throughout her life, Barbara carried with her a treasure trove of memories that she cherished deeply, especially those of her upbringing alongside her siblings. She often delighted in recounting stories from her childhood, particularly those magical days spent roller skating in the 1970s. Those moments of joy and laughter, filled with the carefree spirit of youth, were a source of light in her life and reflected her vibrant personality. Barbara also had a playful side, often reminiscing about the times her and her sister, Linda, would master pig Latin as a way to share secrets among themselves—a testament to their close-knit bond and the love they all shared.

In the 1980s, Barbara embarked on a fulfilling career as a beautician, where her artistry blossomed. She not only enhanced the beauty of her clients but also cultivated lasting friendships.

Barbara's love for art and craftsmanship was evident in the way she approached life. Her imagination and talent allowed her to create one-of-a-kind tools and objects, transforming broken items into stunning works of beauty. Whether through crafting or beautification, she had a remarkable ability to infuse life into everything she touched.

Barbara was known for her unwavering commitment to her husband, Dean, whom she married in 2009. Their bond was a testament to true companionship, as Barbara cherished Dean deeply and could often be found by his side, undertaking life's journey together.

Barbara’s presence will be profoundly missed, yet the memory of her full of life and spunky spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. As we remember Barbara, we celebrate the beautiful soul that she was and the love she fostered within her family.

Visitation will be held from 9:00am until service time Tuesday, January 6th at Humphreys County Funeral Home.
