Ms. Barbara Anne "B.A." Wilbanks, age 75 of Chatsworth, passed away on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at the Hospice of Chattanooga Care Center.

B.A. was a member of Holly Creek Baptist Church as well as the American Red Cross and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Team. B.A. was a loyal friend who was sassy, funny, oh-so-smart, and talented. You never had to worry about what she was thinking, as she would willingly share her thoughts. She was extremely generous with her time, fellowship, knowledge, and community contributions. Many benefited from her dedicated volunteer service via the Red Cross. For those of us lucky enough to call her Friend, it is challenging to imagine a world without her bold personality.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Thelma White Wilbanks, and brother, Ben Keith Wilbanks Jr.

Survivors include her sister-in-law, Charlene Wilbanks of Marietta, GA; nephews and nieces, Keith and Karin Wilbanks Westphal of Marietta, GA and Keith and Denise Wilbanks of Marietta, GA; great nephews, Owen, Evan, and Alek Westphal; and several cousins.

Funeral services to celebrate the life of Ms. Barbara Anne "B.A." Wilbanks will be held on Friday, March 10, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. from the chapel of Peeples Funeral Home with Rev. Danny Cochran officiating. Interment will follow at Chatsworth Heights Cemetery.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Thursday, March 9, 2023 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
