Mrs. Holt was born January 20, 1948 in Lexington, Tennessee to the late James Edward and Hazel Estelle Fesmire. They moved to Jackson when she was six.

Barbara worked as a seamstress at Publix Shirt, H.I.S. and Bill Sills. Her most important role in life as a wife, mother and grandmother was being a kind, compassionate Christian to her family and friends.

She is survived by one sister-in-law, Anita Fesmire, and many nephews and nieces.
