Walter and
Mary Barker knew the value of planning ahead. They also knew
that children often have the greatest needs and smallest voice
in our society. They worked diligently to combine their concern
for children with their ability to make a difference and in so
doing they have touched the lives of thousands of children.
Mary joined
the Board of Directors in 1900 and served until her death in
1931. After Walter passed away in 1914, Mary commissioned
construction of the building on Knoxville in Walter's memory.
In addition, she made a further commitment to children and
families by leaving part of her estate to benefit Children's
Home.
Visionaries
The Barkers
were visionary in their care for children and their foresight in
planning for the needs of kids after they were gone. Similarly,
we need visionaries today who will help plan for the needs of
our kids and families in the years ahead. For those who make
such a commitment to our kids, we invite to be a part of the
Walter and Mary Barker Society.
