A celebration of life for former Davidson County General Sessions and Circuit Court Judge Barbara Haynes has been set for July 16 at 1:30 p.m. CDT at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 3900 West End Ave., Nashville. Haynes passed away in January after a long illness. She was 84. Haynes was the first woman elected general sessions judge in the county and was later elected to the circuit court. Guests are asked to consider wearing orange in honor of Haynes’ love for the UT Vols or red as she was proud to wear a red robe on the bench. Guests are also invited to join the family at the Hillwood Country Club afterwards and toast to Haynes. The Tennessean has more on the ceremony and Haynes’ life.
