Barbara Atkins, 67, passed away Dec. 28, 2023 in her home in Hillsboro.

She was born March 2, 1956 in Springdale, the daughter of Clyde and Versie (Green) Wright.

Barbara lived a life filled with warmth, love and cherished connections. Barbara was a woman whose essence thrived in the company of others. Her vibrant spirit and genuine laughter were captivating, drawing people closer to her with every interaction. As a devoted member of the Northview Baptist Church, Barbara found solace and strength in the comforting embrace of her faith.

As a loving wife and devoted mother, Barbara's home was a sanctuary of warmth and solace. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, often engrossed in the excitement of watching wrestling matches, finding a thrill in the spirited competition and camaraderie it offered.

Barbara will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have shared in her radiant presence. Her unwavering love, kindness, and gentle guidance will forever remain etched in the hearts and memories of those she leaves behind.
