Barbara Ann Queen

BARBARA ANN QUEEN, 81, of Wayne, W.Va., went home to rejoice with the Lord Friday, November 3, 2023, at her home.  She was born December 8, 1941, in Stiltner, W.Va., a daughter of the late Garland “Boo Boo” Ramey and Lena Marie Ramey; brothers Shelton Ramey, and O’Dell (Nilene) Ramey; one son James Lucas; one grandson Michael Nicely; and one granddaughter, Barbara Renea Nicely.

                Barbara was a member of Laurel Freewill Baptist Church.  She always enjoyed singing her hymns both in and out of church.  More than anything, she loved spending time with her grandbabies.

Also surviving is one sister, Glenna Vance of Wayne; one sister-in-law, Emogene Ramey of Wayne; special niece Sarah (Steve) Wyke of Texas; and a host of friends and family too numerous to mention.
