Barbara Ann Wesley

Barbara was born on September 21, 1941, in Chickasha, Oklahoma, to Glynn Emerson Jones and Nettie May (nee McCrory) Jones.

When her children were young, she was a ‘stay at home mom’, until assuming the position of Secretary/Administrative Assistant for a concrete company.

Barbara married the love of her life, Richard, on May 17, 1980.

Barbara was an avid reader and a huge football fan, especially OU (University of Oklahoma) football and NFL. She was a collector of antiques and dolls; and loved to travel.

Barbara was of the Lutheran faith, and most recently affiliated with the Cowboy Church in Yellville, Arkansas.

She had a heart of gold and was always willing to help someone in need; a trait that was instilled in her children.

Barbara is preceded in death by her husband, Richard Edwin Wesley; parents, Glynn and Nettie (McCrory) Jones; brother, Donald Glynn Jones; and stepson, Mark Wesley.

Barbara is survived by her son, Brian C. Baird (of Turner, Maine); daughter, Blynda (Steve) Lawrence (of Shiloh, Illinois); granddaughter, Danielle (Joseph) O’Riordan (of Andover, Maine); grandson, Evan (fiancé’ Taylor) Lawrence; and granddaughter, Ellie Lawrence; great-grandchildren: Kaedn, Knox, Islei, Iara, Kole, and Kier; daughter-in-law, Lisa Wesley (of Fort Wayne, Indiana); and sister-in-law, Juanita Jones (of Yukon, Oklahoma).
