Barbara Ann Hall Atkins, age 77, of Cordele went home to Jesus, Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at home, with her loving family by her side.

Barbara was born in Crisp County and was the daughter of the late Mitchell Churchwell Hall Sr. and Lillian Pauline Ryals Hall.

In addition to being a dedicated and loving mother, Barbara greatly loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren throughout her entire life. She held an unwavering faith in God, which she shared with all those who surrounded her.
