Barbara B. Gillespie Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Barbara B. Gillespie of Brentwood, Tennessee, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on October 25, 2025 at the age of 91. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Barbara B. Gillespie to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Barbara farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Barbara is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Onmon Ledrew Brown and Annie Frances Tuck Brown; her brother Shelby Edward Brown (Buddy); and her son-in-law William Wade Sugg, Jr.. She is survived by: her daughters, Anngela Faith "Bunny" Sugg and Catherine Hope "Kitty" Young (Michael); her grandsons, William Wade Sugg, III (Trey) and Andrew Dean Sugg (Cristal); and her great grandchildren, Lindy Claire Sugg and Landon Wade Sugg. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Good Neighbor Program at First United Methodist Church or Magness Memorial Library (both in McMinnville, TN) or the charity of your choice.
