Beloved Grandmommy, great grandmother, mother, wife, sister, and friend; Barbara was preceded in death by her parents Glenn Atmar and Leta Lillian (Barker) Gowen; her first husband Noel Alexander Vaughn and second husband Frank Richard Schultz; her sister Loretta Gowen; and her daughter Glenna Loree Williams. She is survived by her loving grandchildren, Kelly Loree Kiefer and husband Alex and their children Keaton Patrick Kiefer and Kylie Loree Kiefer; Kevin Michael Williams and wife Catherine; and Melissa Diane Williams; step children, Heidi Lord and husband Chris; Susan O’Connor, and Frank Mark Schultz and wife Cathy; along with numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, relatives, and very close friends.
To say she lived a life dedicated to her family is an understatement. She truly had a servant’s heart. Barbara worked as a proofreader for the Court Reporters Association for over 65 years. In 1986 she joined Ladies’ Oriental Shrine and volunteered countless hours with the organization where she served on the Tappin’ Texan Patrol Drill Team until she was appointed High Priestess in March 1993. Lady Barbara, as she was called, was an extremely loyal and talented member known nationally throughout the organization for 38 years. Her last performance as Drill Master was in 2022 at the young age of 88.
Barbara’s love for her family was undeniable, she was always front and center for her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s activities. Grandmommy will truly be missed.
