Barbara grew up on her family farm near Rosebud, Texas. She graduated from Rosebud High School in 1958 and went to work for the Department of Agriculture in Milam County, Cameron, Texas. She felt her work with farmers and ranchers was the most rewarding career she could have hoped for herself. After retiring in 1994 she went to work for Balt – Best rite and worked for 10 years before retiring again so that she could devote her time to her home, yard, and grandchildren. Barbara is now sitting on the bank of a stock tank where the black bass are plentiful and her vision is perfect.
