March 15, 1927 -

June 25, 2012

Devoted Mother, Faithful Wife, Loving Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt

On June 25, 2012 Barbara Lockhart Echevarria slipped peacefully from this life into the next. Barbara was born to Robert Washington Lockhart and Marie Posey in Santa Ana, California. Her mother died when she was three, and she was raised by her father. Barbara met her future husband Joe Echevarria at 16 when he walked into the movie theater where she worked. They married on April 5, 1947 and settled in Winnemucca, Nevada. Two sons were born to the marriage, Robert Michael and Joseph Patrick.

Barbara was a talented professional seamstress and imparted a sense of responsibility and a strong work ethic to her sons. Barbara loved her family, extended family, and living in the pink house on Melarkey Street. Her world was full, and it was all she wanted.

Barbara leaves behind her sons Mike (Ginny), Pat (Marty), five grandchildren, Joe (Jana) Echevarria, Ali Echevarria, Clint (Becky) Echevarria, Adriane (Jake) Tibbitts, and Jake Echevarria, five great-grandchildren, her sister Dolores Weller and her stepsister Barbara Dufurrena; preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her stepmother Harriet Lockhart, half-sister Rose Thompson, and stepsisters Pat Laca, and Betty Buxton.

She will be interred next to her husband at the Paradise Valley, Nevada cemetery. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 30, 2012. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Paradise Valley School.

Pat, Mike and families,
Danette and I were so sad to learn of your mom's passing. I remember when I was a child and your parents would stop by our house in Lovelock on their way to Reno on a "big" trip. They would stay and visit the afternoon away and we would all have just a great time. We wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Gary and Danette Laca

The Buxton Family sends their condolences upon hearing of the death of your mother and matriarch. Her memory will live on in the lives of those she touched, and in her posterity. It states in Psalm 127:
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed…

May the Lord be with you to support you through these trials.
Bill Buxton & Family
(Son of Dik and Betty Buxton)
