A private family memorial service will be held for Mrs. Phyllis Barnes, age 80, of Rainbow City, who passed away on Friday, December 26, 2025. Burial will take place at Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery in Southside, Alabama.

Phyllis was a lifelong resident of Etowah County and spent most of her career working in retail sales. She was not particularly outgoing and preferred the comforts of home. A simple cookout from time to time was enough to make her happy. She loved her family deeply, though she could be somewhat stubborn—Phyllis believed her way was always the best way.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ted Barnes; grandson, Dylan Works; parents, Dallas and Mary Etta Parker; and siblings, Clyde, Nell Jo, and Liz.

She is survived by her daughters, Renee Works (Bud Payne) and Bridgett Moore (Joel); son, Tyrone Barnes; stepdaughter, Tammy Gibbs (William); grandchildren, Drew (Amber), Alex, Victoria(Trevor), and Wesley; and great-grandchildren, Jagger and Brynlee. Sister Jane Brothers and sister in law Dot Parker.

The family extends special thanks to the staff of Gentiva Hospice for their compassionate care.
