Macie Erin Barnes died July 15, 2023 in Cupertino, California. She was 94 years of age.

Macie was born on February 26, 1929 in McKenzie, Tennessee (the Old 19^th). She graduated from Nashville Business College and married Buman Ray Barnes. Their first daughter, Derinda Jane was born in 1949. Macie’s education in business positioned her to serve as a bookkeeper for Ray’s portable welding business.

In 1955, the family moved to Southern California, where the twins, Debbie Jean and Darla June were born in 1958. In 1963 they moved to Saratoga, Northern California, where they remained until Ray retired, at which time they returned to McKenzie.

Macie is survived by her daughters, Derinda, Debbie, Darla, her sons-in-law, Frank, Quintin, Kevin, her granddaughters, Christine and spouse Don, Jessika and spouse, Lauren, Lisa and spouse, Kamal, her extended granddaughter, Sherri and spouse, Lem. She was predeceased by her husband, Ray in 1995. She was predeceased by her great-grandson, Sean. She is survived by her great-granddaughter, Kairi and her extended great-granddaughters, Tiffany and spouse Ryan, and Amber.
