Barbara was employed by H.L. Green Company and then, Southern Life Insurance Company.  She left working in 1975 to devote her life to raising her son, Paul, and to be a homemaker, always involved in church and school activities.  She loved children and fulfilled that love by working in the nursery of Houston Heights Baptist Church.

Barbara was a unique woman.  Born in Americus, Georgia, she was devoted to her family, with roots in Telfair County, where both her parents were born and raised.  She often shared vivid memories of her childhood; Jim Young Harrell’s Store, visits with her granny, and riding with her cousins, Jake and Thomas in their mule drawn wagon. Oh, what blessed memories from a loving heart!  Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Douglas and Mary Elizabeth Furney and 2 brothers, James Furney and Willis Furney.

Barbara is survived by her husband of 51 years, Barry Bissinger of Macon; son, Paul Bissinger of Macon; sisters, Janie (Monroe) Yarbrough, Bon (Kenny) Evans; and brother, Douglas Furney, Jr.
