Barbara (Richardson) Grant

Very quietly and peacefully on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at 11:00 am, while a patient at Savannah Memorial Hospital, ALMIGHTY GOD in HIS Infinite Wisdom, Power and Perfection, having determined that HIS child and servant Barbara Richardson Grant had suffered enough, reached down, gently closed her eyes and carried her Home.

Barbara was born to William Richardson and Dixie Gray on January 5, 1956, in Durham, North Carolina.  She accepted CHRIST as her personal SAVIOR at an early age and was baptized at Antioch Freewill Baptist Church in Donalsonville, Georgia.  Barbara attended Bethel High School in Colquitt, Georgia.  She entered the workforce employed at Seminole County Middle/High School in Donalsonville, Georgia, as a Custodian.  For 29 years she worked until her health failed, retiring in 2022. 

She was preceded in death by both her parents, three brothers and her loving husband Johnny Grant.

Barbara leaves to mourn five children:  Tracy Gates (Sam) of Warner Robbins, GA, Travis Richardson of Donalsonville, GA, Mark Richardson of Fort Valley, GA, Dixie Hopkins (Shannon) of Donalsonville, GA, and Erik Davis of Warner Robbins, GA; a stepdaughter, Sonya Roseborough of Colquitt, GA; eighteen grandchildren; six great grandchildren; a loving brother, William Richardson; two sisters-in-law, Creasie Richardson and Minnie Richardson; six devoted nieces: Melissa, Bobbie Jo, Consuelo, Shameka, Carla, and Jaywanna; a devoted goddaughter, Janice Martin; and a host of additional nieces, nephews, cousins, other family members and friends.
