Melissa Eaves Barrier

March 8, 1980 - November 6, 2021

Melissa Eaves Barrier, 41, passed away on Saturday, November 6, 2021. Visitation will be Monday, November 8 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Nowell-Massey Funeral Home in Louisville, Mississippi. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, November 9 in the Nowell-Massey Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Marlon Adcock officiating. Interment will immediately follow the service in Memorial Cemetery. Melissa was born March 8, 1980, to Wayne and Linda Burks Eaves in Louisville. Melissa, or “Pearlie” as she was affectionately called by her family, enjoyed shopping and decorating her yard for every occasion. She also loved to plan special events for birthdays and holidays, and she enjoyed fishing. Most of all, she dearly loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them. Melissa is survived by her husband Stephen Barrier and her three children: Hunter Shafer, Kayla Yates (Zachary) Gatlin and Abby Childs all of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Mimi” to her granddaughters Eden Rose and Laken Gatlin; and she was looking forward to the birth of her first grandson, Stetsyn Sheets, in March 2022. Melissa never missed a chance to show pictures of her granddaughters and talk about their latest adventures. She also leaves behind her mother Linda Burks Eaves, her brother Steven (Mallory) Eaves, her aunt Joyce Eaves, cousins Michael Eaves and Jamie (Maegan) Eaves, and her niece Amaury as well as a host of friends. Melissa was preceded in death by her father Wayne Eaves. Memorials in honor of Melissa may be given to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, P.O. Box 41817, Memphis, TN 38174-1817. Services are under the direction of Nowell-Massey Funeral Home, 724 North Columbus Avenue, Louisville, MS. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by signing the guest register at www.nowellmasseyfuneralhome.com.
