She was born on July 14, 1942, in Duffield, Virginia, and lived a life marked by devotion to her family, faithful service to her community, and a steady, caring presence to those who knew and loved her.

Venus retired from the U.S. Postal Service after more than 20 years of service to her community. Through her years of work, she was part of the everyday fabric of the lives around her, offering dependability and dedication in a role that connected her with so many. She also attended Grit Hill Community Church and Sloantown Community Church, where her faith was part of the foundation of her life.

More than anything, Venus will be remembered for the love she gave to her family.

She also leaves behind nine grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews, all of whom carry forward her memory with love. She was also blessed with the friendship of Doris Begley and Ada Darnell, two special friends who held an important place in her life.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, James and Cosby Barnette; by her son, Chris Vincent; by her granddaughter, Destiny Lynn Vincent; and by six brothers and two sisters.

The family will receive friends from 11 am to 1 pm Monday, August 31, 2026 at Thomas Village Baptist Church, 879 Duff-Pat Hwy, Duffield, VA. Services will be held at 1:00 pm with Pastor Jackie Frazier officiating. Music will be provided by Pine Grove Singers.
