Barbara was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister.  She enjoyed spending time with all her family, but there was nothing she cherished more than time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She was also very fond of her companion, her cat (Little Sister).   Barbara was very well known, by her family, as being a good supervisor and letting them know her opinion whenever she felt there was a need to express it.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Thomas and Dorothy Reynolds; husbands, Thomas Baugh and Elwood Jones; daughter, Betty Baugh-Glick; and sister, Mary Helen Reynolds.

Barbara is survived by her loving daughters, Kathy Zaruba and husband, Ron of Marlin and Sharla Davis and husband, John  of Mexia; grandchildren, Thomas Britt and wife, Sarah of Rangely, CO, Louis Lowrey, Jr. of Riesel, John Wesley Davis and wife, Bonny of Conroe, Kristen Davis of Groesbeck, Khara Glick-Allen and husband, Doug of Dallas, Casey Glick of Buffalo, and Kalyn Glick of Oakwood; great grandchildren, Jayden Britt, Zoye Britt, Ashlyn Britt, Emma Davis, Ryan Davis, and Kaeson Glick; sister, Norma Reynolds of McGregor.
