Lydia Jaelle Barkley

October 13, 2014 — October 12, 2014

Lydia Jaelle Barkley, entered into eternal rest in the arms of the Lord on October 12, 2014. She was born sleeping to her parents Danielle and Jonah Barkley on October 13, 2014 at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital. She was 3 lbs. 8 oz. and 18 inches long. She had her mother’s chin, perfect lips, big hands and feet, and a head full of brown hair. She rested happily and peacefully. Danielle and Jonah are very grateful for every second they were able to spend holding and admiring such an amazing creation of God. Lydia was the most beautiful sight they have ever seen. Lydia brought abundant joy, love and anticipation to her parents’ lives during the thirty weeks that she lived in utero. She has made such a powerful impact on so many in her short life and will be missed more than words can express. Her parents find great peace knowing that she is now with our Lord in Heaven and they will be reunited one day. Lydia is survived by her parents; maternal grandparents, Gary Rogers of Potomac Falls, VA, Mary Beth Watts and her husband Jim of Summerville, SC; paternal grandparents, John Barkley and his wife Cathy of Thornton, WV; uncles, Jason Rogers and his wife Theresa of Arlington, VA, Brett Barkley and his wife Leslie of Charles Town, WV, and Jacob Barkley and his wife Ashlee of Clarksburg, WV; cousins, Steel, Knight, Mercy and Honor of Charles Town, WV, and Alvee-Marie and Naomi of Clarksburg, WV.

The family will receive friends 11:00 am – 12:00 pm at McAlister-Smith Funeral Home Goose Creek Chapel.
