Barbara Virginia Prevost, (83), joined the Lord Wednesday, July 22, 2009.
Born in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont Oct. 8, 1925, she was preceded by her
beloved husband of 46 years, Charles W. Prevost and daughter Genie
Kobarg (1948-2003). She is survived by her sister, Jeanette Albanese of
White River Junction Vermont, her remaining eleven children, Joe, Anne,
Peggy Kendall (Billy), John (Stephanie), Chuck, Bill (Debbie), Gloria
Cheely, Carole, Francis (Paige), Christine Martinez (Jose) and Tom
(Stephanie), daughter-in-law Marjorie Prevost , son-in-law Richard Kobarg,
17 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, large extended family and friends.
A few years after she and Charlie were married, they packed up their 7
children and moved to West Hollywood, Fla. She and Charlie moved 3
more times, next to Waynesboro, GA, then Caldwell, Texas and finally to
Austell, GA, adding more children along the way. Barbara spent her time
taking care of children, gardening, sewing, and cooking. In addition to
sewing clothes and darning socks, she created wonderful quilts for her
family, plus more to raffle off at church bazaars. They were truly works of
art. Barbara and Charlie were members of St John Vianney Catholic
Church where their special ministry was helping the poor through St.
Vincent DePaul. In 1993 Barbara fulfilled a lifelong dream by traveling to
Rome, Italy and meeting Pope John Paul. Faithful, loving, funny, grateful,
humble, patient, frugal, selfless and generous, she is already greatly
missed by her family and friends who loved her and whom she loved. In
lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The St. John Vianney
Catholic Church , St. Vincent DePaul Society ; 1920 Skyview Dr.; Lithia
Springs, GA 30122 or the Georgia Right to Life; P.O. Box 927; Lawrenceville, GA 30046-0927.
