Born in New York to Anthony and Phyllis Simone, she relocated to Nashville in the 1970s where she became a pillar of the River Plantation Community. There she created countless cherished memories and formed close bonds with friends that lasted over fifty years. A devoted lover of nature she spent many happy hours tending her garden and planting trees throughout the neighborhood. Barbara was the type of person who would help a stranger or neighbor without question and her kind and generous spirit will be remembered by all who knew her. Barbara is survived by her daughter Tara (Chris), son Brad (Cam), and her grandchildren Savannah, Marley, Alexander, and Simone who she loved with all her heart. She is also survived by her sister Carole, and her brothers Anthony and Joey. Barbara’s children would like to extend a special thank you to all of her family and friends who loved and supported her throughout the years. Barbara’s passing will leave a void that can never be filled, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those that loved her. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, August 31st at the River Plantation Section 1 Clubhouse from 5PM-7PM.
