Ms. Charity Denise Barnes

And he shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4 Today we celebrate the life of our precious loved one, Charity Denise Barnes. She was born on September 24, 1985 to the late Margaret Coleman Barnes. Charity was a proud member of the 2003 graduating class of Jewel Sumner High School, where she graduated with honors. During her time there, she was a powerhouse athlete, dominating both on the basketball court and on the field. Her talents and dedication carried her to Southwest Junior College, where she continued her education while playing basketball. She later attended Tougaloo College in Jackson, MS, where she earned her master's degree in Sociology. Charity was a lifelong member of Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Osyka, MS. While living in Jackson, she was also a faithful member of her covering church, Redeemer Church PCA, where she continued to grow spiritually and build meaningful relationships. Charity had a bigger-than-life attitude, a heart full of gold, and an infectious smile that lit up every room she entered. Her hugs were warm and comforting, the kind that made you feel safe and seen. She was naturally uplifting and encouraging, always checking in on the people she loved and offering her support however she could. She loved her family deeply. Some of her happiest moments were spent taking her nieces and nephews out to eat, laughing and making memories with them. She also loved baking brownies her signature treat and, by her own admission, the only cooking she did. For 17 ½ years, Charity served as a General Manager at Check Into Cash / Community Choice Financial. She was dedicated, hardworking, and well-respected by her colleagues. Charity will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her kindness, her strength, and her vibrant spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched.
