Barbara Ann Williamson

Barbara was born at the original Seton Hospital in Austin, Texas, on April 21, 1959, to Al & Dolores Castello. Upon graduation from Anderson High School, she followed a career of administrative duties with the Texas State Florists' Association and later the Round Rock Independent School District. Along the way, she made many friends and great memories she treasured. Barbara knew no enemies, only friends and friends-to-be.

In 1974 she met, and later married in 1980, her life love, Dan, and together they spent 32 wonderful years sharing a life united.

Her true life passion was her family, children, and eventual grandchildren. These were the people who lit up her life and her world revolved around. She supported her children in all their undertakings. Countless days were spent watching baseball, horseback riding, cheerleading, soccer, gymnastics, band, music recitals, and all the other activities her children were involved in. She took great pride in their accomplishments. Amidst the chaos of raising her kids, she opened her heart to numerous children who needed a loving home.

Barbara was preceded in death by her father, Al Castello, brother, Andrew, and her grandparents, Al & Berenice Castello and George & Mary Vacek.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Dan, and her three children Kellie & husband Kevin Littrell of Acworth, GA, Brandy & husband Thomas Ford of Mobile, AL, and Dallas & wife Melissa Williamson of Round Rock, TX. She was enamored by her five grandchildren Zoe, Derrick, Kya, Darren, and Ada Mae. She is also survived by her mother, Dolores Castello of Austin, as well as her siblings Mary Alice Castello of Austin, TX, Rick & wife Sheryl Castello of Lake Jackson, TX, Jim & wife Diana Castello of Elgin, TX, Chris & wife Nan Castello of Cedar Park, TX, and KK & husband Doug Bush of Huntsville, AL. In addition, she is survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Barbara was the youngest person to ever achieve the rank of #1 Mimi. She will be greatly missed.
