Barbara graduated from Abbyville High School. She worked over 30 years for the United States Postal Service in both Plevna and Hutchinson, retiring as a postmaster. Barbara enjoyed watching all sports, but had a fondness for baseball. She and her husband, Merle, watched a major league baseball game in every Major League Baseball ballpark. Above all, Barbara cherished her two grandsons, Devin and Jarod; they were everything to her. Barbara was a proud grandmother, attending all their events and cheering them on, especially when they played football and baseball. She was a member of Plevna Community Bible Church.

She was preceded in death by: her parents; husband, Merle; brother, Kenneth Dunn (Betty); and sister-in-law, June Ramsey (Jim).
