Barbara Jean Robinson Goodin, born on March 31, 1937, in Forsyth County to Benny Roberts and Esther Jefferson, lived a life steeped in devotion, service, and love. After graduating from local schools, Barbara dedicated her career to the Winston Salem Forsyth County School System, diligently serving until her retirement.

Her spiritual journey was woven into the fabric of the United Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church, where she enriched the community as a Deaconness, a cherished choir member, the chairperson of the Culinary Committee, and the 3rd Vice President of Missionary Group #2.
