Barbara Gail Warren

Barbara Gail Warren, 82, of Ballinger, Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on January 3, 2026.

She was born on a cold February day, in Valera, Texas, on February 22, 1943, weighing only 3 pounds 10 ounces at home. No incubators, only a loving mother and grandmother who placed her in a shoebox and heated water bottles and heated bricks on wood stove wrapped around the shoebox to keep her warm. So, she was a fighter from day one. The most patient and kind human being there was. She loved her family deeply and they her.

Barbara married the love of her life, David Mike Warren on February 14, 1959, in Midland, Texas.

One of her favorite hobbies, from the time she was a small child, was fishing with her daddy and that stayed with her all of her life. She loved to fish and camp out at the river as a family. She worked at the sewing factories and telephone industries, Electrospace, Halfmann Cleaners, and Central Texas Nursing Home. She was loved by all of her coworkers. She never had a hurtful word for anyone and was always there to listen quietly, never judging.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Van Nathan Cude and Erma Williams Campbell, her son Glen Warren, her infant twin daughters Sharon and Karen Warren and her brothers, Bob Cude, David Campbell, and Gary Campbell.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband, David Warren; her daughter, Cindy Aguirre; her sisters, Marsha Cook and Nancy Plunk (Gene); sisters in law, Kay Cude, Linda Campbell, Peggy Page, Margaret Allcorn; brother in law, Bill Warren; grandchildren, Adrian Aguirre, Brittany Jenkins (Bryan), Nikki Wilson (David), Amy Manske (Jace); great grandchildren, Corbin Hill, Dylan Jenkins, Alexyss Jenkins, Brennon Day, Hayleigh Day, Brittany Day and Brandi Day, Landon Wilson, Braydon Wilson, and Kadie Wilson.
