Hilda Barger's Obituary
Mrs. Hilda Commons Barger, age 96 of Marietta, died peacefully in her sleep on March 22, 2011. Hilda was born and grew up in Blue Ridge but lived most of her life in Marietta. The last 20 years she lived in Smyrna. She loved to cook, especially Sunday dinners for her family. She also loved her flowers and could often be found gardening. The many friends she made at Marietta Nursing will miss her. Hilda will be remembered for taking care of many people and her love for her family. She is preceded in death by four sons, Jimmy Bailey, David Bailey, Johnny Bailey, Steve Sockwell, and four siblings. And is survived by her daugher, Betty Sockwell Hand of Marietta; grandchildren, Mechelle Madel, Melissa Comer, Michael Bailey, Matthew Bailey, Jennifer Holmes, Lisa McKinney, Amy Sockwell, John Bailey; and many great grandchildren. As long as there are mornings that dawn beautiful and bright, As long as there are sunny days and stars that shine at night, As long as there are flowers that blossom in the spring, There are reasons to have faith in what the days ahead will bring. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 from 5 to 8 PM. A private graveside service will be held.
