So many memories and so much time spent. You gave me my name bc you weren’t sure how to spell Anastasia. You were my grandma, my rock, my co parent , my best friend and secret keeper. I could always gossip with you or tell you anything and you always had my back. I loved making the candies with you and cake decorating and baking. You taught me how to clean a window properly , cook , bake , clean a house and most importantly you taught both mom and I and so many others how to love unconditionally. You have been my rock and hero my entire life and idk how I’m going to do this without you and gpa but I know you’ll be proud bc I’m going to do the very best I can and now you’re my guardian angel and protector. I love you grandma , thank you for always believing in me, never giving up, teaching me all you know so I can pass it to my kids and loving your family and friends as deeply as any person ever could.
My favorite story is when gpa tried to get you to stay home and disabled your car so you loaded the kids up and walked all the way from ur property to Ur momma in bixby. I’ll miss our phone calls and ur hug when I’m breaking. You always made it all ok with a kiss and hug. I love you grandma , may you rest in peace and enjoy being next to gpa again.

My deepest condolences to my cousins; Billy Joe, Keith Allen, Ronnie, and Glenda Sue.
I always looked forward to all the major holidays growing up. Aunt Barb made the best desserts. My favorites were her peanut butter balls and chocolate covered cherries, and pretty much anything she made.
I was blessed to have Aunt Barb as an my aunt, and many great memories to hold on to of her!
Rest In Peace my sweet, loving, caring, and funny, Aunt Barb. You always gave of yourself to help others.
I love and miss you so much❤️🙏🌻
