Mrs. Barbara Ellen Myers
Bennett, 88 years old, of
Walterboro, entered into her
heavenly home on Tuesday
evening, June 9, 2026, at her
residence with her beloved
family by her side.
Born May 20, 1938, in
Terre Haute, Indiana. She
was the loving wife of the
late Roy Allen Bennett. She was the daughter of the late John
William Myers and Mary Elizabeth Myers. She was known to
most as “Bobbie” and affectionately known as “Mommy” to
her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
In her earlier years she was employed by Sky City, (that
operated in Walterboro for countless years) and Cato.
She was best at witnessing to others about God and praying
for them. She was no ordinary Mother or Mommy, she was a
spiritual Mother and leader in her family. At a young age she
gave her life to God and became a witness for him. She had no
ordinary relationship with God; she could hear him when he
spoke. She shared her love for him not only in words, but she
lived what she taught and she won many lives for Christ. She
was a member of the Walterboro Church of God and was well
known for her beautiful vocal cords in the choir. She taught
3 of her girls to sing at a young age and they became “The
Bennett Trio”. She loved to sing. As someone said, “Heaven
just got one to give the angels a run for their money in singing”.
The most precious gift she gave us was a foundation in faith
and the free gift of salvation. We will miss her praying for us
all, but we know her prayers will live on.
She is survived by her seven children: a daughter, Robin
Bennett of Walterboro, a daughter, Sonja Noskowiak (Chris)
of East Tennessee, a daughter, Chrissy Cook (Donnie) of
Cummings, South Carolina, a son, Richard Allen Bennett
Sr. of Walterboro, a son, Roy Shayne Bennett (Leslie) of
Walterboro, a daughter, Tonda Bennett of Walterboro; a greatgrandson,
Chesley, of Walterboro (whom she raised); twelve
grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and
nephews.
She was pre-deceased by her mother, Mary Elizabeth
Myers; her father, John William Myers; her brother, Ronald
Andrew Myers; and a sister, Deanna Kay Hersberger (Jim).
Special thank you to her wonderful nurses, Rebecca
Herndon and Caroline Cook, from Agape Hospice. Mom
loved you!
Special Recognition to her daughter-in-law, Leslie Bennett,
who was her full-time care giver and like a daughter to her.
We love and appreciate all you did for her.
