Our family is heartbroken by the unexpected passing of our beloved sister and mother, Barbara McKinney. Her sudden loss has left us devastated and unprepared for the expenses that come with arranging her funeral and repast. Barbara was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved people, loved to socialize, and had a personality that drew others to her everywhere she went. She had a large circle of friends and treated everyone with dignity, kindness, and respect. Her spirit lit up every room she walked into.

Barbara was more than a sister — she was a best friend. We shared countless moments of fun, laughter, and love that we will hold onto for the rest of our lives. She was also a proud and supportive mother, always standing by her son and attending his art shows. Everyone in the art community adored her and felt her warm, uplifting presence. Her passing is a tremendous loss to our family, her friends, and everyone blessed to know her.

We, Phillip Snead, Joann Snead, Tammy Snead, and Eric Snead, are organizing this fundraiser to help cover the funeral and repast costs. We are hoping to have all funds available soon so we can finalize arrangements and honor Barbara’s life properly. Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this painful time.
