Barbara Ann Heiskell, 82 of Bardstown and Greensburg, KY gently passed into the arms of our Lord and Savior in the early morning hours of Friday, March 19, 2021 when she was finally reunited with her husband whom she had dearly missed. Barbara was an accomplished gardener and relished preserving her garden bounty to share with others. She enjoyed all types of knit work, sewing, and crafting. She was known by all to be a wonderful cook and was happiest when she was serving meals to family and friends. She was an avid reader who was drawn to books about the Amish and stories set in the early 20th century. Barbara worked 20 years for the Jefferson County School system and it was from there that she retired shortly after her husband retired. She was a devoted servant of the Lord and found joy not only as a deacon's helpmate but also as a children's Sunday school teacher and VBS leader. Barbara was born December 12, 1938 in Brownsville, KY to the late John William Madison, Sr and Elizabeth L Rigney. She married Robert D. Heiskell, Sr on July 3, 1953 just before he began his military service. Barbara joined her husband Bobby in Roanoke, VA where he was stationed and they lived there for several years. After her husband's military service, they returned to Louisville where they started and raised their family. They then began to purchase farms in Green County and these farms soon became a weekend getaway full of fun and friendships. Barbara and "Bobby" were married for 66 years. Barbara is proceeded in death by her husband Robert D. Heiskell, Sr, her parents John William Madison, Sr and Elizabeth L Rigney as well as her stepfather Charles Rigney and brother John William Madison, Jr. She had two sons for whom she felt great love and pride: Robert D. Heiskell, Jr (Karen) and Philip R. Heiskell (Tena). She was blessed with four grandchildren: Tiffani Alexandria Heiskell, Shelby Elizabeth Heiskell, Madison Layne Heiskell, and Robert D. "Trey" Heiskell III; and four great- grandchildren: Carson Philip Mays, Ainsley Elizabeth Mays, Aubrey Alexandria Dick, and our miracle baby Griffin "Moon Pie" Ray Leake. She also had many friends and family. Barbara's wish was to have a private graveside service like her mother before her. Thus, on Monday, March 22 at 1pm at the Ladies Chapel Church in Greensburg, she was laid to rest beside her beloved husband on one of their farms with her sons and their families in attendance. Her kindness, quick laugh, loving heart, and words of wisdom will be greatly missed. And to her grand and great-grandchildren: she loved them "a bushel, a peck, and a hug around the neck." Cowherd and Parrott Funeral Home, Greensburg, KY in charge of the service arrangements.
