Barbara Ann Hatfield Noah, 91

Barbara Ann Hatfield Noah, age 91, went to her heavenly home on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at Ft. Sanders Medical Center in Knoxville, TN, with her family at her side. Barbara was born August 9, 1933, in Union County, TN. Her family moved to Lone Mountain in Claiborne County, where she grew up. She resided in Claiborne County for the remainder of her life. She attended Lone Mountain Elementary School and Claiborne County High School, where she excelled in the girls’ basketball program.

Barbara was saved at an early age and her faith was a guiding force in her life. She attended church services regularly as her health permitted, most recently at Mountain Creek Primitive Baptist Church. She dedicated her life to her family and her faith. Her love for, and dedication to, her family was exemplified in all she did. She was happiest spending time with them and gained much satisfaction caring for them. Barbara loved the outdoors and spent many hours working in her flowers and her yard. She enjoyed traveling, especially day trips, enjoying the scenery and events in other towns.

Barbara will long be remembered for her quick smile and laughter, her warm personality and optimism. Her friends and family knew her as someone who looked for the best in everyone and sought the positive in life’s circumstances.
