Barbara was a Christian whose faith in Jesus shaped her life. She loved the Lord deeply and loved her family with all of her heart. She had a gentle and quiet spirit and lived her life with devotion to those she loved. She was an amazing cook. Without a doubt, no one could compete with her delicious homemade dinner rolls. She found such joy in caring for her family, and especially treasured being a grandmother. She truly loved rocking her grandbabies, taking care of them, and surrounding them with love.

Gray and wife Melody of Clyde; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
