Bertie Moore Barron, age 101, Columbia, Louisiana, passed away November 20, 2012. Mrs. Barron was born March 28, 1911 in Jackson Parish, Louisiana. After marriage in 1931, she resided in Ouachita Parish for about ten years before moving to Caldwell Parish where she spent the remainder of her life.
Mrs. Barron owned and operated a grocery store in Caldwell Parish until she retired. She was a member of Palestine Baptist Church. Bertie was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, and was an excellent cook who spent many hours preparing delicious meals and often told stories of her childhood days.

Bertie was courageous, kind, and strong; her compassion was endless. Mama was always there for her children, giving comfort, understanding and protection, and she will live on in the hearts and memories of all who knew her.
