Barbara Jean Garth-Miller
How do you sum up a woman so caring and loving in such a short passage? It is almost
impossible, but I will try!
Born October 4th, 1947, to Nannie Mae Garth and Leonard Vaughn Jr, in Aberdeen Mississippi.
Barbara was the eldest of three children. Her parents, her brother (Richard Arthur Garth) and one
sister (Brenda Young) greeted her at Heaven’s Gates. Barbara attended and graduated from
Shivers High School in Aberdeen, MS. She later continued her education and studied
administrative courses at Operation Uplift in Maywood, IL.
On September 24th, 1983, Barbara married the love of her life Mr. William Stanley Miller. They
began this union already having one son Jerome (Wisdom) Percell-Miller. They later welcomed
one daughter, Ashley Marie Miller.
Barbara was truly a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, and friend. She gave her
all to make sure her family never went without, and everyone had what they needed. Whether it
be a prayer, word of advice, hug, or just a listening ear.
Barbara was a devoted employee, who made numerous friends that became more like sisters
during her many years of employment at Sears, Zaire’s and Walmart. Affectionately known to
her Walmart work family as “Mamma Barb” or “Ms. Barb, she left a positive impression on
everyone she met.
Barbara was the truest definition of God’s love and kindness. She would give the clothes off her
back to care for those she loved. Her love was demonstrated in how she cared for her niece Mrs.
Laverne Cooper, whom she considered a bonus daughter.
Barbara affectionately cared for, loved, and would kill a brick for her grandchildren Makclia
Baldwin, Mariah Stapleton, Aaron Stapleton, and Tra’Sean Jones.
Barbara LOVED GOD. She could often be heard bragging about how marvelous God is. She
would recite her favorite scripture, Isaiah 54:17; No Weapon Formed Against Me Shall Prosper
and Every Tongue That Rises Against Me in Judgement Shall Be condemned in Jesus Name, to
uplift and encourage herself and others.
Barbara has truly earned her riches in heaven!
