Betty Barnes, of Baton Rouge went home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 31, 2015.

In celebration of her life, Miss Barnes was born in Overton Texas, on May 7th 1931. A graduate from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. She began her career working in Juvenile corrections. She soon switched to Banking where she found her true calling. Working for over 40 years, beginning in 1950's with Louisiana National Bank (now Chase Bank), she eventually rose to the position of Vice President. In addition to the passion she had for her work, she worked with the Baton Rouge Camellia Society for many years. Her greatest delight and total devotion was to her family, and we will always treasure the many memories of times together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Agnes and Glenn Barnes and her "best friend" and brother, Dr, John J. Barnes, Sr. and great-nephew John J. Barnes III.
