Barbara Bergstrom Lumsden

Barbara Bergstrom Lumsden October 5, 1941 – May 6, 2005 On the early morning of Friday, May 6, 2005, Barbara joined our Lord. Barbara was born in Houston, Texas. She graduated from Lamar High School in Houston and Southern Methodist University, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. After being voted Most Beautiful three successive years at SMU, she married her college sweetheart, Jerry. Nothing pleased her more than to serve and care for others. She was a teacher, a youth group leader, a committee member for Young Life at Memorial High School in Houston, a spouse, a parent, a grandparent, and a friend. She was loved by all that came into contact with her. Her priorities were her Savior, family, and friends. Her best friends were made while serving others through church, bible study, The Settlement Club of Austin, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and her card group. She was devoted to loving and spending time with her precious grandchildren. She was the grandmother every child should have and in the time of need, she was a surrogate grandmother to others. She was placed on this earth to love and care for people. Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Gladys Bergstrom. She so dearly loved and missed them that she longed to be with them again. Although the family is saddened by their loss, they are joyful that she is with her Savior. Survivors include her husband of 43 years, Jerry Lumsden; her two daughters, Cinda Brown and her husband, Anthony of The Woodlands, TX and Stacey Odom and her husband, H.T. (Trey) Odom, III of Houston, TX; grandchildren, Travis, Madeleine and Tinsley Brown and Blake and Adair Odom; her brother, Charles (Dick) Bergstrom and his wife, Janet.
