Irma Barnes Obituary
Irma Trude Barnes (Parton), 81, of New Market, Virginia, passed away on October 30, 2018. Irma was born on February 23, 1937 in Sevierville, Tennessee to the late Walter and Bessie Rayfield Parton.
Irma was a dedicated wife, mother and highly-regarded childcare provider in the Glen Allen area of Virginia, lovingly called "Mama Barnes" by her babies. After spending most of her adult life in the Richmond area, she found a new home in the Shenandoah Valley enjoying trips to The Flea Market in Edinburg, walking the Hawksbill Greenway in Luray, getting ice cream at Pack's in New Market, and going on road trips to explore the many towns throughout the valley.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Carl A. Barnes, brothers Oscar, Orville, Earl, Lee, Ray, and Winford Parton, and sisters Hazel Whaley, Margie Parton, and Christine Rickman.
Irma is survived by her two daughters, Rachel Fultz and husband Charlie, and Sarah Barnes Renaud; sister Ora Dale Gray; three treasured grandchildren, Lukas and Jakob Fultz, Grayson Renaud; cherished nieces, Janie Click and Roxanne Mount, and other extended family members.
The family wishes to thank close friend, Kathy Akers, and caregivers, Hannah, Lynn, Heather, and Jackie.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Sentara Hospice of Harrisonburg.
Services will be private.
