Ms. Barbara Rivers Lynn was born August 12, 1949 to Susie Rivers and the

late Eugene Rivers Sr., in Georgetown, Ga.

Barbara joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Ft. Gaines Georgia accepting

Christ at an early age; and received her education in the Quitman County

school system. Barbara Lynn found employment in the kitchen at Lakeview

Community Hospital of Eufaula Alabama and also cooked at the school in

Quitman County. Along with taking care of the elderly she also worked

several years at Ferrell’s Flower shop. In 1992 Barbara moved to Miami

Florida. Several years later she moved to Orlando and joined The

Deliverance Christian Center of Orlando Florida where she selflessly

dedicated herself as a member of the choir. Barbara loved God with her

whole heart and she shared her love in the Church by helping other ministries

wherever she was needed. Barbara enjoyed many things in her life; spending

time with her family, cooking and shopping. She planned numerous events

for her church and many gatherings for her family.

Heaven gained another Angel on February 12, 2017 when she passed at the
