Barbara and I have always been close cousins. She spent most summers in Oklahoma visiting all her relatives. Since we were the same age we had a lot in common. I will miss you very much and see you when we meet in Heaven. Love you all. Cousin Lois Jean
My nana was an amazing lady and i wouldn’t take back any moment that i had with her she was the best grandmother and friend anyone could ever ask for. Even though we didn’t always get along my nana was always there fo me and with me. my favorite memory of her will be when she was in the hospital for the last time and she was asked by the hospice intake person how long she wanted to live and she told them with a huge smile on thier face “i want to see my Kayla graduate high school.” and now even though she is gone, the day that i graduate will a be a blessed day for me and my nana cuz she will be there in spirt. i know it. I LOVE MY NANA!!!

Precious memories of a very precious niece….Uncle Jerry and Aunt Dianna
I am so sorry to hear about Barb’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with her for 4 years at IGP and Airgas and I have to say that she made our days so bright. She was one of the most thoughtful, caring and truly generous people I have ever had in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this difficult time. My heart breaks for them.
My prayers are with the family of Barbara. I went to middle and high school with her. I have always loved her kind heart and friendship we shared in those days. It is so sad when we all go our seperate ways in life after school. I have also thought of Barbara as a dear and loving friend. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in years, I still shall miss her dearly knowing that I will never see her again. I am sure she was a loving wife, mother, daughter, cousin, aunt, but mostly a friend in my heart. Olivia Olivas
Janet, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. What a very special lady Barbara was. She always had a smile, such a positive attitude and very full life. Our lives are so attached and blessed by our mother’s lives. They are very special people and Barbara was extra special in my eyes.
I never called you mom, because I knew you couldn’t handle another kid calling you that. My girls did call you Nana, and loved you very much. You were a great light in this world, and I loved that your daughter Janet shared that light with us. I am glad that you are no longer in pain, and that you are at peace…..But I am deeply saddened with the thought that your physical presence is gone….Thank you so much for allowing my family to be part of yours…..I love you, and you will forever be missed…
