Lake Lure - Barbara Viola Herter Bagwell was born in Orange County Memorial Hospital in New Jersey on January 21, 1929. Barbie grew up in the Great Depression and was never scared of a little challenging work or rolling up her sleeves - something that you couldn't help but notice even into her 90s.
She met her match in the summer of 1948, and on June 5th that year, she married John Wesley Bagwell. Barbie and JW were best friends - partners in business and life. They sold JW's Buick convertible to start their Flower shop in Daytona Beach, Florida, and grew the business over the years with an unmatched work ethic and love for Jesus.
They raised two children, John Bagwell and Lynn Bagwell, who were an extra pair of hands for Bagwell Florist shop and the most loved employees at the store.
Barbara lived a life full of love with a passion for Jesus, and telling everyone was her life mission. Barbie loved to serve others at Lake Side Chapel and Chimney Rock Baptist Church in Lake Lure and wore many hats on different days of the week with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. She loved her friends, family, friends of the family, and strangers on the street - Barbara was Grammy to so many different people.
We will miss Barbara Bagwell and can smile knowing she is again with her JW in the presence of the heavenly father. She spent her life following Jesus, loving others, and living the Barbie way. Barbara is survived by son John Wesley Bagwell Jr. and his wife Brenda, and son Wesley Bagwell. Her daughter Lynn Brewer and husband Dickie Brewer and their four sons John Barclay, Paul Barclay and wife Katy, Rich Brewer and wife Katie, and Josh Brewer and his wife Laura.
Memorial services will be held 1:30 PM Wednesday, June 30, 2021 with Rev. Alex Heafner and Rev. Gene Daggerhart officiating. A reception will follow the service.
