"In my father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2 Barbara W.

She attended McKinley High School and was also a retired state employee. Her favorite pastimes were reading her Bible, watching television and doing word search puzzles; all in that order. She is survived by a son, Edwin (Terry) Brown; a niece whom she raised as a daughter, Naomi Riley; a great niece that she raised as her one and only grandchild, Dominique Riley; and an adopted daughter, Rahsheeda Howard. Cousins, Constance(Connie) Queen and Joe(Gloria) Collier, and a host of other friends and relatives. She is preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Delilah Washington, and sisters Naomi Geran and Patricia Colston.
