Betty Lou Barnes, age 83, of Sevierville, Tennessee, was born on March 16, 1942 and went home to be with Jesus on May 31, 2025. She was the most loving Momma and Nana to her family. Her legacy of love will not be forgotten. Rocking her babies to sleep while singing “Jesus Loves Me” will always be a favorite in our hearts. She always put her family first and was selflessly dedicated to each and every one.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Dora Hicks Romines and Hobart Romnes; her husband of 55 years, Ronald Barnes; and several other beloved family members.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Sherry and Doug Garland; Grandsons, Drew Myers and Jesse (Gabby) Garland; Granddaughters, Sydney (Aaron) Keck and Lindy Garland; Great-grandchildren, Collins and Emory Keck, and Grainger Garland; several brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and nieces and nephews.
The family would like to extend an extra special thank you to the Caris Hospice staff, especially Angela, Lisa, Justin and Sandy. You are angels on Earth!
Per Betty’s wishes, no services will be held. McCarty Funeral Directors & Cremation Services are in charge.
