Orangeburg Coach Elizabeth Miller Barker, 62, Dies; Graveside Service March 1

Elizabeth “Coach Miller” Barker, 62, of Orangeburg, SC, died on February 26, 2026, the Dukes-Harley Funeral Home obituary and a My Tribute Gift memorial page report. "A graveside service will be held at 3:00 pm, Sunday, March 1, 2026, at Denmark Cemetery in Denmark, SC," the funeral-home posting states.

The family scheduled a public memorial the next day. "A memorial service will be held at 4:00 pm, Monday, March 2, 2026, at Orangeburg Lutheran Church, with Rev. Rick Mason officiating," Dukes-Harley and the My Tribute Gift listing say.

Pallbearers for the graveside service are named by the funeral home. "Honored to serve as pallbearers are Ryan Ethridge, Will Wofford, Sean Tobul, Davis Fogle, Jeffrey Judy, Felder Fogle, and Blake Mixson," the posting lists.

The family included a thank-you to those who assisted in Barker’s final days. "The family would like to give a heart-felt thanks to her special care givers, Miesha Yates 'MiMi' and her staff, Myra Ardis with Gentiva Hospice, and Charlotte Wofford," the Dukes-Harley notice reads.

The obituary and memorial page include practical options for friends and family. "To send a flower arrangement in memory of 'Coach' Elizabeth 'Miller' Barker, please click here to visit our sympathy store," the funeral-home site instructs; the My Tribute Gift page offers ways to "Donate to a charity In Memory of 'Coach' Elizabeth 'Miller' Barker," to "Share This Memorial" via social icons (Facebook Icon, X Icon, Email Icon), and to "Sign the Guestbook." The donation platform lists a support line for users: "Need Help? 1-855-355-8141."

The funeral-home posting and the My Tribute Gift memorial provide the primary public record of Barker’s passing; a Legacy.com index entry is also referenced in the original compilation of notices. The available notices identify Barker as a well-known local coach and community figure but do not list a cause of death or next-of-kin in the posted excerpts.

Dukes-Harley Funeral Home posted the obituary details and event listings; My Tribute Gift hosts the memorial and donation interface that carries the support contact. Services will proceed as posted at Denmark Cemetery in Denmark, SC, and Orangeburg Lutheran Church with Rev. Rick Mason officiating.
