Barbara (Meemaw) Louise Jones Javery, cherished wife, devoted mother, loving grandmother, and dear friend to many, departed this life peacefully on Wednesday, June 4th, 2025. She entered this world in Homerville, Georgia, and was raised in Savannah, Georgia. For the last several decades, she called Hardeeville, SC, her home. Barbara was a remarkable individual, whose diverse talents shone brightly throughout her life.

Barbara dedicated herself to various careers, each reflecting her boundless compassion and deep affection for others. She embarked on her journey as a waitress at Waffle House. Her favorite job was working along aside her baby sister Michelle detailing semi trucks at Frieghtliner.  In her later years, she found fulfillment at being a store clerk at Lawton Oil. In her final days, she found joy in the company of friends and family, sharing warm embraces and imparting her ever-optimistic outlook on life.

In addition to her dedication to her career, she will be remembered most fondly for her cherished roles as a mother, grandmother, and friend.
