June 28, 1949-Dec. 14, 2021

Kathy Ilene Barnes, 72, of Crawfordsville passed away Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2021, at Franciscan Health Lafayette.

Kathy was born June 28, 1949, at Crawfordsville, to Bill and Betty Peterman. She married John T. Barnes on April 18, 1970.

Survivors include: her husband, Johnny of 51 years; two sons, John (Billy) Barnes and Shaun (Moriah) Barnes of Crawfordsville; six grandchildren, Dakoda, Bailly and Reagan Barnes of Crawfordsville and Miranda, Bentley and Paislie Barnes of Waveland; two great-grandchildren, Addasyn Barnes and Carter Foxworthy of Crawfordsville; niece Krisonda Todd of Terra Haute; and nephew Brent Melvin of Crawfordsville; as well as many other great nieces and nephews. She loved them all like her own.

Kathy was a graduate of Crawfordsville High School. She was a life-long servant of the Lord. She absolutely loved her church family members from over the years. Most currently she was a member of New Life Apostolic Church. Kathy spent most of her life as a homemaker, raising two boys and our dad along with us. She really had her hands full, but she never gave up and continued showing us the right ways in life. Over the year, Kathy also was employed by RR Donnelly and Golden Books.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Betty Peterman; sister and best friend, Brenda Joyce Gayler; and grandson Ashton Barnes.

Our mom never knew a stranger and was loved by many who she had touched the hearts of. She lived her life as an example of a true child of God. She loved her family more than anything and made a lot of sacrifices for us over the years. We are all so lucky to have gotten to feel her love.

Cremation was chosen and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. If you came across Kathy and you felt love or admiration for her, then the feeling was mutual. She loved you as well.

Hunt & Son Funeral Home is assisting the family.
