Kim Barker: Making 50 look Fabulous!
By Carla Yvette
You only turn 50 once and
Kim Barker wanted to make her birthday one to remember.
Family, friends and coworkers filled the Gesu Banquet Hall
on March 7 to help celebrate her special milestone. The
theme of gold and white set the mood for a fun, festive
evening.
Guests enjoyed a
buffet-style, home-cooked meal that included, but was not
limited to chicken, dressing, green beans, mac & cheese,
salads and rolls, all prepared by her mom, aunts and
friends. DJ Clean provided music and
entertainment for the crowd of close to 200 people as they
danced, mingled and helped themselves to a dessert spread of
candy, cupcakes, cake balls and a beautifully decorated 50th
birthday cake.
With heartfelt expression, Barker said, “I would like to
thank God for blessing me with such wonderful people in my
life. Thanks to everyone who came out to help me celebrate
my 50th birthday, I had a blast! It was a long journey but
it turned out beautiful. Thanks to my mom Brenda
Higginbotham, my aunts Gail Lawson and Jackie Coogler, my
worker family Penny Smith and Andy Nye. Thank you all for
putting up with me this past year.

“I also would like to thank my family who traveled from
Kentucky, Florida, Columbus and Chicago to be here for my
special day. I cannot forget my church family Sis Wallace,
Deacon Kramer and Sis Kramer for stepping up to help out. I
love each and everyone who showed up and showed out. Again
thanks so much.” |
