Tryon— Barbara Louise Buffington, 75, of Tryon, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at home, directly in front of her favorite window, overlooking her beloved garden, surrounded by her family and her devoted dogs, at precisely 3 pm on Wednesday, December 6th, 2023.

Barbara was born on November 19th, 1948, to Herman Lorain Buffington and Frances Victoria Buffington (Filek) in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. She was born very early, weighing about a single pound, and she fought her way into this life with the same indescribable fortitude and desire for light with which she lived and held upon her exit.

She will be eternally missed by many, especially her daughters, Raiford Hyde (nee Hudson) and Taylor Weston (Christopher Cody), her eternally beloved grandchildren, Lucy Boone Hyde and Warner Hudson Hyde, her cherished dogs, Boonie and Huddie, her life-long, best girlfriends, her church family, and the entire list of amazing women she encouraged and championed and believed in and supported and lifted up and loved throughout her life.
