Barbara Katherine Griggs

She worked for Consolidated Aircraft during WWII. They moved to Abilene after Tommy returned from his military service in Japan. Tommy’s career with Luby’s Cafeterias relocated them to San Antonio in the 1950’s.

Barbara was a long time member of Trinity Baptist Church. She volunteered her time with various organizations.

Barbara had a very special group of friends that met monthly to play canasta. We aren’t sure how much canasta was really played but the conversation and laughter were plenty.

After a long battle with dementia, she passed away Monday, July 19, 2021.

She is preceded in death by her parents Joe & Deborah Cypert, infant son Mark Griggs, daughter Teri Diane Griggs,

grand daughter Terri Sullivan, brother Bernie Cypert, sister Dorothy Lanier.

She is survived by her husband of 76 years, Tommy H Griggs, son Gary Griggs, daughter Tracy Griggs Sullivan (Brian), grand daughter Shelby Sullivan Kling (Mike), and great grand daughter Kennedy Kling.

The family would like to thank the caring staff at Adante Memory Care, and the nurses of Encompass Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, donations maybe made to Trinity Baptist Church or the charity of your choice.

Funeral service to be held Saturday, July 24, 2021 and 1:00 pm at Porter Loring Mortuary on McCullough.
