Barbara was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Charles Robert Hines and Bernice Kathleen Bobe Hines on August 11, 1941.  After living in duty stations all around the world, she was a graduate of Pensacola High School in 1958, and the Mather School of Nursing in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1960.  After completing nursing school she met and married the love of her life, Benny Mozo in 1963.  She supported Ben as he completed his college degree, and together they raised three children: Becky Mozo-Adams (Bobby), Griffin, Georgia; Kathy Graydon (Jon), Panama City, Florida; and Scott Mozo (Wendy), Dothan, Alabama.

Barbara was gifted with the heart of a servant and spend her adult years in ministry.  If she saw a need and could help address it in some way, she did.  She had a great passion for literacy, which primarily manifested itself in ministry at First Baptist Church of Enterprise where she facilitated the creation of an English as a second language school which, in turn, led to the formation and continued ministry of the First Korean Baptist Church of Enterprise. She volunteered tirelessly organizing hearing and vision screenings for elementary students in the Enterprise School System, and taught fifth-grade Sunday School for many years. These are small representations of the breadth of her life as a follower of Christ.  Many lives were touched by this remarkable woman. Her later years were spent in the family business, Communications and Ear Protection, at her husband’s side.   

She is predeceased by her beloved husband, Ben.  She is survived by her children, Becky, Kathy, and Scott; grandchildren Colby Mozo (Holli), Enterprise, Alabama; Thomas Adams, Columbus, Georgia; James Graydon (Kaitlyn), Wahiawa, Hawaii; Elizabeth Graydon-Haeghebaert (Emiel), Washington DC; Ben Graydon, Orlando, Florida; great-grandchildren Ryker, Quinn, Remi Mozo and Eleanor Grace Graydon.  She is also survived by her two sisters, Sandy Edwards (Tim) and Linda Williamson (Ken) of Pensacola, Florida.
