Obituary
Barbara Sue Sweet, 72, of N. Chesterfield, VA went to be with the Lord on Friday, July 26, 2024. She was born on October 29, 1951 in Greenbrier County, West Virginia to the late Edward and Kathleen Sims Martin.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by nine brothers and sisters. Barbara is survived by her twin brother William (Billy) Martin of Smoot, WV.
Barbara was a cherished mother survived by her son S.L. Sweet III and Rhonda Ball and her daughter Susan Sweet and husband Bryan Sweet as well a circle of friends and family who will miss her dearly.
Barbara retired from DuPont Fibers after 30+ years of service. In her later years, Barbara’s love of pets drove her to start a dog-sitting business where she made many new friends, both human and canine.
Barbara’s love for dancing was a reflection of her vibrant personality and her laughter made every moment spent with her a treasured memory. Barbara never met a stranger and loved socializing, but above all Barbara relished spending time with her family.
The family will receive friends from 4:00-5:00 p.m. on Friday August 2, 2024, immediately followed by a Memorial Service at 5:00 p.m. at Morrissett Funeral & Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Road, North Chesterfield, VA 23234.

So sorry for your loss. Met Barbara many years ago at Dupont. Always looked forward to seeing her across the plant through the years.

Barbara was one of the best people we had meant. She was so kind and gave the best hugs when she would greet you. I was able to meet he when she started taking care of my senior dog Mazy. Mazy loved her and always was glad to see Barbara. In preparing for our upcoming vacation we found out Barbara is no longer with us. Saddened to hear this for not only us humans but for all the dogs she cared for. To her family we are sorry the loss and hugs to all. Thank you Barbara for taking care of our senior girl for last 3 years and for being a good person to us as well. Love, Kathy and Cheri
