Annie Bell Blackwell Barnes Long, age 91, passed away at her home on January 29, 2026.

Annie was born on April 6, 1934, in DeQueen, Arkansas, to John and Mary Blackwell. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose life was rooted in faith, family, and love.

Annie was a proud and faithful member of Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church in Mountain View, Arkansas. Her faith guided her life and was evident in the care and compassion she showed to others.

She enjoyed watching The Price Is Right, Gunsmoke, working in her yard with all her flowers, and she cherished time spent with her family, who were truly the light of her life. Annie was known for her spicy sense of humor and her steady comforting presence that brought warmth and reassurance to everyone around her.

Left to cherish her memory are her son, Rickey Barnes (Deborah); her daughters, Trish Osborn (Chris), and Janet Talburt, her daughter-in-law Sharon Barnes, son-in-law Gene Reeder; her grandsons, Jeffery, Joey (Kim), RayRay (Jackelyn), Brad (Sara), and Matthew (Kelly); her granddaughters, Chrystal (Darien) and Kayla (Bobby); great-grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Jeffery Brennon, Bailey, Daèjcha, Ariana, Dustin, Landon, Emily, Ava, Easton, Lexi, Tiffany, Justin, Timber, Brianna, Alannah, Jasmine, Leo, and Drayton, great-great-grandchildren; Hudsyn, Korra, Llius, Kali, Ronan, Koda, Tatum, Brinlee, Ella, Sterling, Hayze, Hunter, Weston, and Addison, and a host of loving nieces and nephews.

I am so sorry to learn of Ms Annie’s passing. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out. I can remember her from way back working nights at the shirt factory for a bit. She was so kind and patient. I never saw Annie without a beautiful smile and you knew it came straight from heart. I went on to work with some of her children and getting to know them. They are all fine folks to know.
May our Heavenly Father keep you all in His arms of Comfort during this very difficult time.
In Christian Love,
Joanie Younger
