Jennifer Susan Barnes

Jennifer Susan Barnes, age 81 of Nashville, TN, passed away October 9, 2026 at Mulberry Health and Rehab Center in Franklin, TN.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, October 31, 2026 at Tennessee Ridge United Methodist Church with Rev. Beverly Dycus officiating. Family will receive friends at the church beginning at 10:00 a.m.

Jennifer entered this life on May 24, 1945 in Paris, TN, daughter to the late Royce and Phoebe Barnes.

Jennifer was a member of Dickson First Presbyterian Church. She had a heart of gold with a passion for art, all of God’s creatures – especially her dogs and her family. She retired after a fruitful career as a nurse in the healthcare industry; she will be greatly missed.

In addition to her parents, Jennifer is preceded in death by her siblings, Phyllis (Ed) Bradley, Phil (Rose) Barnes; niece, Joy Rose Parks, and nephew, John Bradley.

Survivors include her children, Kam (Chris) Nola, and Jason (Terri) McMillan; grandchildren, Nick Nola, Phoebe Nola, Lacey McMillan; step-grandchild, Dana (Preston) Parker; nieces and nephews, Steve (Lisa) Bradley, and Kimberly Lambright. She also leaves behind her extended McMillan family.

Family would like to thank the nursing staff at Mulberry Health and Rehab Center in Franklin, TN for the loving and compassionate care shown; it never went unnoticed.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society of Dickson County, 311 Tennsco Drive, Dickson, TN 37055.

Arrangements are in the care of Nave Funeral Home, (931)289-4277, NaveFuneralHomes.com.
