Barbara Moore

Barbara June Moore, age 88, of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, passed away Thursday, August 21, 2025, at her home. She was born on Sunday, October 4, 1936, to Floyd Lemmie and Winnie Merritt Bailey Hardin in Gary, Texas.

Barbara was a devoted Christian woman whose heart for the Lord was evident in the way she lived and served others. For many years, she was a faithful member of Chapel of the Pines Baptist Church in Hochatown, where she joyfully played the piano, taught Vacation Bible School, and led ladies' Bible study. Her love for people and her desire to share God's Word touched many lives and left a lasting influence on her church family and community.

Family was the center of Barbara's life, and she cherished every moment with them-especially her beloved grandchildren, who brought her endless joy. She also found fulfillment in her work, both as a substitute teacher in the Broken Bow School System and during her time with the Oklahoma State Welfare Office, where her compassion and dedication made a difference in countless lives.

Barbara enjoyed the simple, beautiful things in life. She loved tending to her yard, planting her garden, and carefully making sure her flower beds were always a picture of beauty and care. She poured her heart into everything she did, whether it was serving at church, loving her family, or creating beauty around her home.

Barbara will be remembered for her faith, her kindness, and her servant's heart. She leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and grace that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
