Barbara Sue Michna

Barbara Sue Michna, 89, of Lake Jackson, TX, went to the arms of her Savior and Lord on 19-January 2023. Barbara was born on 15-July 1933 in Wichita Falls, Tx to the late Coy and Sadie Jones (Bailey).

Barbara Sue loved taking care of her family, friends, and church. She worked at the City National Bank Building in Wichita falls. When she married her husband, Rogers Michna, they enjoyed fishing with her family at Lake Possum Kingdom. They adopted their two children and moved to Lake Jackson in 1968. She attended Eastern Star, BSF Studies, and loved to play Bunco.

She and her friends, Barbara Jo Odom and Patsy Parrack, loved to bake cakes for weddings and special occasions as well as provide food for church functions at the First United Methodist Church of Lake Jackson. Mom made sure our house was the neighborhood hangout for all the kids with lots of games and the best snacks. She was a Den Mother for Cub Scouts, welcome “extras” over for Thanksgiving, have a homemade pizza party, sew a dress for a formal, pull an all-nighter for a slumber party, store a dead cat in her freezer, cross-stitch a funny saying, host a craft day, play a mean game of train or Uno until early morning, braid lots of heads of hair, and cheer on her kiddos, whether in school, baseball, football, softball, or band. She was a Roy Rogers fan (but not Buck Owens).

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Coy and Sadie Jones (Bailey), Brother Keith Jones, and brother-in-law and wife, Gilbert and Brenda Walkup (Michna).

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Rogers Michna, son Mark Michna, daughter Michelle (Cliff) Wilson, grandchildren Xanecia Michna, Katie (Jessie) Hill, Michael (Rylie) Wilson, Matthew Michna, Rachel Wilson, and great grandchild Asher Wilson, sister-in-law Billie Jones, niece Kayrene (Glen) Daw (Jones), nephews David (Donna) Jones, Steve (Gail) Jones, and Brad (Shelly) Jones, and nephew Larry (Jockueline) Walkup.

A celebration of the life of Barbara will be held at the First United Methodist Church of Lake Jackson, TX at 2pm on Saturday, February 4th. Interment will be later in Burkburnett, TX.
