Barbara was born on November 24, 1945, and grew up in Lakeland. Barbara's special joy was knitting, crocheting, and a whole host of other crafts, and gladly taught others when given the opportunity. She loved reading and had a special fondness for Agatha Christie mysteries. Every year she counted the days until the fall colors started to pop up as she thoroughly enjoyed watching football. And above all else she never quite gave up hope that the Chicago Cubs would win a World Series.
Barbara worked at the Giles County Public Library since 2002, and was best known as "the library lady" at the Lynnville Branch, where she served as Branch Manager since 2010.
Barbara Lynn Curk Clayton lived in Pulaski, TN, and died on August 28, 2016, at Life Care Nursing in Columbia, TN. Barbara had suffered multiple strokes in early August and was hospitalized until it became clear she would not recover, at which time she was transferred into hospice care.
Preceding Barbara in death was her husband, Bruce Henry Clayton and her parents George and Eunice Curk. Survivors include two sons, Byron Dickens and Neil Dickens of Texas, daughter Emily Rose Clayton of Pulaski, siblings Stuart Curk and Susan Truesdell of Florida, and innumerable friends throughout the community, including her best friend Gail Martin.
Funeral services were held in early September at the Church of the Messiah in Pulaski followed by burial at Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church Cemetery. At her wishes, no visitation or viewing was held, but all who wished to pay their final respects were welcome to attend the funeral services, and were invited to wear green in memory of her favorite color.
