She married the love of her life, Bob Wallace, on July 19, 1960. She and Bob owned a grocery store in Midland for many years where they created many friendships. They later transitioned the business into a church to serve the Lord.
Barbara touched the lives of all who knew her. She always helped anyone in need and made lifelong friendships. She was loving, joyful, and kind, and had a wonderful sense of humor and an admirably unique way of telling stories.
She enjoyed playing many games, but her favorite was BINGO. She loved the game and the friends she played with. She also enjoyed reading, shopping, watching her favorite westers and pastors on TV, and loved to write poetry and short stories. Barbara delighted in spending any time with her family and believed that family is most important, next to Jesus. Her love of family and the Lord will carry her memory always.
Barbara is survived by her husband of 59 years, Bob Wallace; their four children, Shan and his wife Diana, Scott and his wife Pam, Stacy and his wife Shannon, and Andy and his wife Mandi; sister, Sue; and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends. She loved and was deeply loved.
Services to honor and celebrate her will be held Sunday, August 4, 2019 at 3:00 PM at Ellis Funeral Home with Pastor Mike Bartlett officiating.
