Barbara Gail Pelfrey Milsaps

Mrs. Barbara Pelfrey Milsaps, age 57 of Kingston, passed away Friday February 24, 2017 with her family by her side. Barbara was a graduate of Roane State Community College and retired as the Director of the Harriman Public Library. She began her service at the library when she was sixteen years old. She served as the Children's Librarian for many before becoming the Director. Barbara loved everyone that came into the library. She prayed for them, gave to them, worried about them, took books to them when they were homebound, and even took many to their doctor's appointments. Barbara loved her family and her church family greatly. She adored her dogs and was an ardent supporter of ASPCA. But more than anything else, Barbara loved Jesus. She was preceded in death by her husband: David Milsaps. And her parents: William "Buddy" and Veneda Pelfrey. She is survived by one brother and sister-in-law: Jack and Felicia Pelfrey of North Carolina. Two sisters and brothers-in-law: Phyllis and Lloyd Barger of Lancing and Lona and Arlis Berkhardt of Harriman. Several nieces and nephews and her beloved dog: Gracie.
