She was an active member of her Catholic parish, participating in many activities and organizations such as the Altar Society and the renovation of the original St. Stephen parish’s chapel on South Main Street.

  Barbara is survived by her husband, Lawrence and daughter, Sharmayne, each of Weatherford Texas, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Sirena; and brothers, Walter “Sonny” Deel and Samuel “Buddy” Deel.
