October 26, 1935 - April 28, 2017

Barbara Ann Holmes Brown, 81, of Bryant, Arkansas peacefully left this earth on Friday, April 28, 2017 at Saline Memorial Hospital in Benton, AR. Barbara was born October 26, 1935 in Little Rock, AR and was adopted at the age of 6 months into the loving and caring home of Winfred Hardy Holmes and Elsie Faye (Blundell) Holmes in Perla, AR. Barbara graduated in 1953 from Malvern High in Malvern, AR and from Henderson State College with a degree in teaching. She later received her Masters from North Georgia University and taught elementary school in the Red Oak and Fayetteville, Georgia School Districts where she and Herman called Fayetteville home for many years. Barbara recently lived at Evergreen Living Center in Bryant.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman Conrad Brown; two sons, Michael Joseph Brown and Robert Conrad Brown, and by cousins, Thomas E. Maroney and Sue Maroney Watson, from Perla, whom she thought of as her brother and sister.

She is survived by "nieces and nephew" Gail Maroney Cliff of Bryant, Susan Maroney Bowers of Benton, Charles E. Maroney of Bryant, and Jill Tabor Hall, Ginger Tabor, and Jennifer Tabor Allen all of Magnet Cove, Arkansas.

Funeral service will be at 1:00 p.m., Thursday, May 4, 2017 at Bryant First United Methodist Church with the Rev. Hammett Evans officiating. Interment will follow at Shadowlawn Cemetery in Malvern.

The family will receive friends at 12:00 noon, Thursday, one hour prior to service time at the church.

So sorry to hear of Barbara's passing, and also sorry we did not manage to get there to see her in recent months. She was a special person, and we have such fond memories from Red Oak and Fayetteville (GA) days. We hope to be able to make a trip there in the next few months - to visit the cemetery, where we have been on three previous occasions, and perhaps we can see some of the family. Thank you, Susan, for finding our phone number.

I was sad to hear of Barbara's passing - I taught with her at both Brooks and Hood Avenue Elementary in Fayette County - she was a wonderful teacher and friend

So sad to read of the loss of Barbara - We were friends
from high school- lived less than a block from each other during
those years and stayed in touch over the years . Will always remember that laugh of hers. Thoughts are with you.
