Barbara was a pastor’s wife alongside her husband for over 40 years. They traveled together ministering in various cities. She was a faithful member of First United Pentecostal Church of DeQuincy where she remained involved in as many areas as she could. If you knew Barbara, you knew her middle name was “go”.

J., Tylor, Morgan, Addisyn, Mason, Brock, Braylon, Brendyn, Adelyn, Nolan, and Roman; great-great-grandchildren, Gabriel, Liam, Wyatt, and Levi; sister, Mary Guthrie; along with numerous nieces and nephews.
