Barbara Lloyd

Barbara "Mum" Lloyd, 70, of Mexia, went to be with the Lord Sunday morning, November 21, 2010. She was born October 4, 1940 in Auburn, New York to L. C. and Nancy Gladys Guest. Barbara lived most of her life in Mexia and worked at the Mexia State School for twenty-five years. She was a member of Northside Baptist Church. She was born Barbara Ann Guest but soon became "Bobbie" to her family. As time went on, she added a new name, "Mama", she was called this lovely by her three children; then one day, she added yet another name, "Mum", although this name was started as a name from her grandkids, she soon began to be called "Mum" by many. So whether addressed by Barbara, Bobbie, Mama or Mum, this "Special Lady" will be loved, remembered and missed always.
