Barbara Rose Hart went to join Austin Hart, the love of her life for 53 years, in Heaven on April 8,2025. She was born on September 9, 1936 to the late James and Beatrice Harmon. Barbara and Austin met on a blind date, and both told their parents after that one date 'Ive met the person I am going to marry. Six months later, on December 23 that year, they were married. Barbara excelled at everything she did from being a wife, partner, mother, artist, and volunteer. She was a past clerk of the Catawba Valley Baptist Association. She loved her church and took on so many jobs for over 49 years; childrens school, training teacher, GAs, bulletin, WMU, and more. However, she received the most joy from being in charge of 55 and Alive group. She always would be looking and planning activities for the church seniors to do and share their love of life and God together. No one ever said they didnt have fun on her trips and activities. She was an active artist for years doing one of kind hand painted pieces of furniture, wall hangings, or pictures. She was also past owner and operator of The Tree House Childrens Clothing store, a consignment shop that she transformed into a consignment and new fashion clothing for many local children. She watched and loved seeing so many children grow from babies to teenagers right there in her store. She is survived by her caregiver and son, Roger Hart of Morganton, who gave so much care for both his parents during their later years and illnesses. She will be missed by her fur baby, Angie who was always by her side at home A cryptside service will be held at 11am, Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Burke Memorial Park Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Samaritans Purse. Sossoman Funeral Home and Crematory Center is assisting the family with the arrangements.

Leave a tribute for Barbara Rose Hart.

Roger, I am saddened to hear of your mother's passing. I fondly remember the time I stayed with Barbara and Austin awaiting your arrival. I wish that life had unfolded differently, but it wasn't intended by the good Lord. I know that sisters by birth Barbara and Joan are reunited and sharing a sweet sisterhood. My daughter and I are thinking of you and praying for a healing hand from above. Regards, Eleanor Harmon Paunovich (oldest sister)

Roger, I have so many wonderful memories of both of your parents. One of my favorite memories of your mother involved a dress I was making for the Burke Chorale. I was their accompanist and needed a dress toatch theirs. I ran into trouble with something and so I called you mom and she told me to bring it to the house. Long story short... She fixed it for me and we had a great time chatting about this and that. She was always a great friend to Sybil and made sure she was comfortable in her new role as pastor's wife . I loved her dearly! Try to concentrate on all the good memories you have of her during the next few weeks and the pain won't be so bad. I love you my dear friend and I'm praying for you.
