Among her many activities, she was a member of the Aiken Hospital Auxiliary for over 25 years; an active member and president of the Aiken Business and Professional Women's Club; and a long time and devoted member of Trinity United Methodist Church. Barbara was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and she attended more sporting events for her sons than any mother should have to endure.

Johnson, and her grandchildren Sarah Kathryn Johnson, Scott R. Johnson and Brian M. Johnson.
