Pauline L. Barr, 89, of Winslow, Indiana, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Monday, April 28, 2025.

She was born in Ferdinand, Indiana, on October 15, 1935 to Paul and Daisy King. She was married to Alton Barr, who preceded her in death in 1988.

Pauline loved crocheting afghans and giving them to her family and friends.  She made baby blankets, and also made toboggans and prayer blankets for hospitals and cancer patients.  Her faith in God was very strong and she could sing like an angel.  She loved to read, draw and paint.  She canned vegetables every summer and was a wonderful cook.  She would give until she had nothing left, helping others whenever or however she could, teaching and encouraging so many.  She loved movie nights and pizza with her boys.  She got saved at Oakland City Nazarene Church when she was 12 years old, where her parents were also members.  She was a faithful prayer warrior and she often said, "Take ahold of Jesus' hand and don't let go."  She was a wonderful mother, full of love for everyone.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Daisy (Conner) King; husband, Alton Barr; sister, Via Chapman; sons Larry and Jim Barr; daughter and son-in-law Angela and Leon Ballard; granddaughter Paula Ballard and grandson Tom Rowe; and great grandchild, Ray Appel Jr.
