Barbara Vaughan's Obituary
Barbara Ann Wall Vaughan, 73, of Stanley went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday October 28, 2023.
She was born on April 17, 1950 in Princeton, WV to the late Henry Wall and Notrie Clower Wall Levy. Barbara was a graduate of Garinger High School and a retired school bus driver with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools after 23 years of service. Barbara previously resided in Huntersville, NC for over 35 years before moving to Stanley, NC.

Barbara also served as a Girl Scout leader for Brownies and Juniors within the Hornet’s Nest Girl Scout Council during the 70’s and 80’s.
Most of all, Barbara enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and watching them play sports. She was devoted to being their biggest champion and cheerleader; never missing a pregame or postgame text to encourage and congratulate them.
She is preceded in death by her daughter, Rhonda Suzanne Vaughan.
