Barbara's Obituary
Barbara Ann Parritt (Napier), 79, of Benton Harbor, Michigan passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home with family on Friday, January 5, 2024.
She was born July 3, 1944 in Hayti, Missouri to William and Blanche (Franks) Napier and later moved to Michigan.
She had two beautiful daughters Barbara Lynn Stanage (Pipkins) and Ronda Rene Pipkins.
Barbara always opened her home to her children and grandchildren whom she loved with her entire being- Bobby Dale Allard, Amy Leigh Allard, Brittany Janell Stanage, Joann Cleveland Stanage, Charles Herman Pipkins Jr, Kenneth Andrew Hanners, (Wife-Amanda Hanners), Angel Marie Foster (Pipkins), (husband- Matthew Foster), Victoria Ann Marie Pipkins and 19 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild.

Barbara was a firecracker, but also would help anyone she could even if it meant giving her last. She meant the world to her family and close friends. When she was younger she loved to dance and cut and style hair. Barbara enjoyed going out to, eat at restaurants, and going to the casino. Also loved nurturing her babies, and watching some of her favorite T.V. shows like the Price is Right, Matlock, and Perry Mason. She also enjoyed playing cards and Yahtzee with her loved ones.
