Barbara was a Christian woman, loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Just like many mothers, her love for her children was strong but nothing could compare to the love for her grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family, especially during the holidays.

Barbara had a big heart and a forgiving heart. She treated everyone just as she wanted to be treated, with respect. She was a longtime member of Calvary Baptist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Margaret Stafford; husbands, Glenn Dabney and Nolan “Jr” Hendrick; and son, Joseph Anthony Hendrick.

She is survived by two sons, Christopher Paul Hendrick, Randy Lynn Hendrick; grandchildren, Kyndal Esquivel and husband, Hunter and Haley Sandifer and husband, Cameron Sandifer; sister, Carolyn Wiley of Waco; brothers, Jimmy Stafford of Athens and Danny Stafford of Mart; and several nieces and nephews.
