The Winchester chapter is sad to report that our long time member Stanley
Barns passed away.  He was married to Amy Barns who was blind and the
original founder of the chapter in the early 1960s.  We ask that you keep
Stanley and his family in your thoughts at this time.

 

Stanley David Barnes, 91, passed away Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at Stonerise
Berkeley Springs Nursing Home.

He was born December 10, 1930 in Berkeley Springs, WV, the son of David T.
and Evelyn V. Barnes. He joined the U.S. Marines in 1948 where he sustained
permanent injuries. Stanley drove a fuel truck for L.J. Wright & Son of
Winchester, VA, for a number of years. He was a member of Amy's Kitchen Band
& Winchester Federation of The Blind. He was our stepfather, but he was the
best dad and pap pap, with a kind and generous heart. A friend to many and a
loving & great caregiver to his wife of 64 years. His grandchildren called
him a gentle giant.

 

He is survived by a stepdaughter Anna Lee Frederick; six grandchildren, Kim
Weaver (husband Eugene), Randy Frederick, Terry Frederick, Scott Frederick,
Susan Crim, Jeffrey Crim (wife Shauna); ten great grandchildren; two great
great grandchildren and several cousins.
