Barbara Laverne Redden, known to many as “Squeaky”, was born on September 21, 1957, in Charleston, South Carolina to the late Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Martha Singleton. Squeaky received her formal education in the Jasper County School Systems and was a member of the graduating class of 1975. In 1990, she accepted Christ as her savior. She was a very active member of many Pentecostal ministries throughout her life. Prior to her health failure, she was a devoted member of New Birth Center under the leadership of Apostle Nika Brown in Florence, South Carolina. She and her devoted friend, Apostle Ida Singleton started an online ministry she named “SIS” Sisters Impacting Sisters. At the time of her passing, she was a member of the New Redeemed Church of God in Christ of Jacksonville, Florida. Squeaky was a woman with many hats. She was a hospitality aid with the Marriott Hotel Chain and was known for her love of cooking, spending time with family, fashion, and always stepped out in her heels.

She was preceded in death by her husband of nineteen years Charles Redden.
