Barbara Ann Dodson

Barbara Ann Boggs Dodson May 1926 - May 2021 Barbara Joyce Ann Boggs, or Barbara Ann Joyce Boggs III as her loving husband Bob would often call her, passed away just shy of her 95th birthday. To some she was Barbara, to her kids she was mom, to others she was Aunt Barbara, but a very special title she held was Granmommie. Life with Barbara was filled with delicious Thanksgiving meals with the whole family gathered around the table, Easter egg hunting in the backyard, picanicers (aka picnics) hotdog roasts around the fire pit, homemade lasagna, and birthday cards for every birthday! Barbara made everyone feel like the most important person in the world. She was the best at really seeing you, loving you, and filling whatever need you might have. Her joy was making everyone around her happy and if you spent time with her, you were always certain to hear the best jokes. She had a sweet tooth and loved cookies so it's no wonder her loved ones begged for her award-winning Oreo ice cream cake at every family gathering. Barbara Ann's love for her family was beyond that of anyone I've ever known and I'm certain we all hold very special memories of the time we spent with her. A beloved wife for nearly 70 years, Bob and Barbara lived all over the Southeastern United States while raising a daughter and three sons. They taught their family to love Jesus, do for others as they need, and live honestly. Bob and Barbara were longstanding members of First Baptist Church of Altoona and enjoyed many years of serving needs in the church. Every generation they have inspired has been raised in the church as Bob and Barbara's faith has been a corner stone of our family. We praise God that Barbara is in heaven with the love of her life, her beautiful daughter, and all the family that has gone before her. She is survived by three sons and their wives, eight grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the First Baptist Church, Altoona, Fl on Monday, June 14, 2021 at 10 AM. An interment ceremony will be held at the Florida National Cemetery, also on June 14, at 1 PM.
