She had many stories of her “wild” days as she grew into a young woman. As a mom, she fiercely loved her children and at times worked three jobs to take care of them. In early 1976, Barbara met Robert Pyle and married him two months later. He stepped in and was a wonderful dad and “Gramps” to her children and grandchildren. While she had two other husbands, one before and one after, Robert was truly the love of her life. She lived the 25 years since his passing missing him and looking forward to joining him once again.
For the past three and a half years, Barbara has lived in a comfortable apartment at The Courtyards of Riverpark in Fort Worth, TX. The family would like to thank them for their loving care of her.
Barbara peacefully went Home to her Lord on Friday, October 15, 2021 with her son, Larry and daughter-in-law, Michelle by her side. Barbara is preceded in death by her parents: Buford and Lillie Sparkman, her beloved husband, Robert Pyle, her daughter Charlott Norman and her great-grandaughter Fayth Norman. She is survived by her siblings: Wayne Montgomery and his wife Martha, Bobby Montgomery, Kathi Silva and her husband Mike, and Keith Sparkman and his wife Corrinne, her sons: James Jordan, Larry Jordan and his wife Michelle, grandchildren: Jenn Clark, Amber Thompson and her husband Dave, Candice Norman, Rachelle Jordan, Melissa Norman, Taylor Jordan, Natalie Ovcharov and her husband Mitko, Tyler Jordan, and Ashley Jordan, great-grandchildren: Kaitlynn Norman-Heflin, Kayden Thompson, Samantha Jordan, Maxson Thompson, Isabella Barnes, Ella Clark, Travis Barnes, Krislynn Guzman, Ivan Metzke, Aviana Guzman, Brooklynn Guzman, Esme Jordan, Gabriel Jordan, Damion Jordan, Farrah Thompson, Elena Ovcharov, and Murtagh Thompson.
Barbara was a redhead to her very soul. Her life was one of extremes, and she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. She loved Jesus, jewelry and juicy steaks, in that order. Barbara’s main prayer in life was for all of her family to be saved and join her and her Robert in Heaven.
Funeral services will be held at Moore Funeral Home in Arlington, TX on Friday, October 29th at 1:00 p.m. officiated by Pastor Jimmy McNeil of Pleasantview Baptist Church, in Arlington, TX.
