A longtime resident of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, since 1967, Barbara is fondly remembered as a pioneer and devoted member of Calvary Baptist Church. A dedicated homemaker, she found joy in ceramics and floral arranging, and she held a deep love for her President, her country, and above all her Lord and Savior. Barbara was the first Lady Shriner in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and greatly admired the works of her favorite artist, Thomas Kinkade.

Barbara is survived by her daughter, Beverly Hinsley, and her husband, Tom; her daughter-in-law, Cathy Bartlett. She was a cherished grandmother to Jerry (Ann), Laura (Mike), Eric H. (Stephanie), Brian (Tanya), Angie, Duane, and Eric B. (Debbie). She also leaves behind numerous great-grandchildren: Tanner, Sadie, Jamison, Marlee, Caleb, Reagan, Cheyanne, Sydney, Cierra, Tyler, Amanda, Teresa, McKenzie, and Courtney, as well as great-great-grandchildren Isabella, Harlow, Jax, Wyatt, and Hanalei.
