Barbara was born on August 28, 1932 in Wadsworth, Texas to Murray and Mary Louise Seerden. Her childhood was challenging. Her father’s work caused the family to move several times a year.

She enrolled in college at Eastern New Mexico at Portallas. During her first year in college, she was elected “Sun Princess” and represented her college at a football game in El Paso.
