We lost a dear friend due to complications of COVID-19.  She was the most selfless woman, loved her family immensely, helped all those she came in contact with.  I’m missing you already Virginia Barr, you’ve left a mark on my life forever!  My heart is broken & cant get your family off my mind.  May we follow the legacy you’ve left of reaching, loving and bringing restoration.  
Thank you for loving our Bradley Mathews.  Your memory will live forever.  Thank you, Ryan Barr for sharing Granny with us 💙
I’ll meet you just inside the Eastern Gates over there.  I love you ♥️

You're going to be missed Sister Virginia. Kiss Jesus for us.

I lived across the street from you growing up. I'm just now seeing that you passed away. Breaks my heart to hear the news. You were always there for me when I needed you when I was a kid. I hope that you are smiling down on the ones that miss you. You made a huge impact on my life and you probably didn't even realize it. RIP

We laid to rest a wonderful women! I have known her more that half of my life. May you RIP Virginia Barr.

I keep seeing that little curtsy you do when you enter a room ... "I'm he-e-re!" I can see you doing that same little curtsy when you entered those Pearly Gates and announced to all the saint's and the angels that, "I'm he-e-re!" What an incredibly brave woman you were right to your very last breath. I hope that my loved ones remember me the way you are being remembered. You leave more than a legacy ... You are a star! 🌟👑💕

Beautiful service for a special lady. Fly high with the angels!! Rest in the arms of God. I will see you again one day. Love you my friend!!!

We lost a truly amazing woman. My granny was one of a kind, never met a stranger and always helped . She help mold me into the man I am today. I love you granny Rest In Peace.

You will be so missed. You knew how to make everyone laugh even during a sad time. I’m sorry we didn’t visit more often. I’m sorry you never got to meet my Matthue and kiddos. I know were tickled about me finally being happy. I’m so upset you won’t be to be there on my wedding day sitting with my grandparents cracking jokes.

Almost 7 years ago... I love you so much and just don't have words to express myself right now. You always believed in me and I remember the day you met Jesse was thanksgiving 2012, I remember you saying "that boys crazy for you if he can get out there on that porch and give your family a jam session". Oh how I'm gonna miss seeing your face, it breaks my heart into pieces knowing that you're gone. You're really, really gone. You was so much fun to be around and loved everyone and hugged everyone with open arms. When I found out that you had been taken up with the Lord today my heart sunk and my stomach churned. 
I will miss you so much! And I know you're feeling no more pain, happy and jumping for joy and possibly giving everyone hugs up there big old bear hugs. I love you aunt Virginia
 and will see you soon! Fly high sweet angel! 💔💔

You had once told me I could call you anytime and you would be my mother....you were so sweet and I loved talking to you.  You will truly be missed, but I sure know that you are hugging Jesus right now!.. ♡♡

My dear friend so sad that you lost your battle but you gained your wings...

My heart is broken for my friend and sister of 34 years.  I'm so grateful I got to talk to you before this took place.  I will miss you forever, but you are now with our Lord and Savior. RIP my friend and to Donald, Chris and Kevin along with her grandchildren and great-grandchild whom she loved dearly my condolences and know she loved you.

Too all of Virginia's kids [grandkids] there are so many stories and memories to share I could not put them all in this book.  Married for over 45yrs and  knew  each other for a year before we got married.  Some of the stories are happy, funny, sad and just normal every  day life. We were kids our self raising kids there good and bad times, but together we got through it.  I would love to share these stories with both my sons and  grandkids and one day with my great-grandkids of this one of a  kind women, mom, granny.  There were many times I would start a story and Virginia  would say  Don do not tell them that,  now I can.  Virginia had a big heart and enough love to go around.   Love you always Don.

 Dear Uncle Don,  
 I am very sorry for the loss of,  the love of your life.


I have wonderful memories of my Aunt Virginia.

When I,  was just a young child, I told my aunt ginner, when I grow up, I'm gonna take care of you and buy you a new red truck. I remember her laughter and smiles as she told me she was going to hold me to it.

Aunt Virginia, was always there in the hardest times in my life. She loved her family and was a wonderful woman, whom will never be forgotten.

Sincere Condolences,  Uncle Don, Chris, Kevin and family.




You are an amazing beautiful woman. Although I didn’t have the privilege of knowing you for years, you touched my life. You were always laughing and had a good story to share. Your love for your grandbabies touched my heart. I will miss seeing you walk through the church doors and hearing your laughter in the room.  I do know that I will see you again one day. You are missed more than words can express. My prayers are with all of your family. 

I didn’t know you for very long, but when we met I felt as if I’d known you all my life.  We talked, laughed, and cried many times at church or church functions.  I loved that you didn’t mix works, you just said what you meant and how you felt, there was no guessing involved or needed.  I will treasure those memories and miss seeing your beautiful face.  Love you 

Heaven gained a beautiful soul.  She will be missed by so many.  Always smiling and willing to help.  Prayers for the family.

It's hard to put into words how hard loosing Virginia has been. The void is huge. She has taught me so many things over the past 21 years. 
Virginia, we teamed up on everything it seems like. Planning vacations, stuff with the kids, what we were cooking for holidays, what we were having for lunch at work, just to name a few. I really don't know how I'll make it without you. It's hard to imagine life without you in it. You're more than just a mother in law, you're my mom. You always jokingly said that I didn't like it when you would tell me that I was more like you than I thought. The truth is, I never thought that was a bad thing. I hope you knew that. I love you and will miss you always!

Donald, we are so very sorry for your loss. We are thinking and praying for you and all your Family. We weren't around you all a lot but the few times that we were, I do remember what a loving person Virginia was and all of you are too. Please let us know if we can do anything for any of you.
Love you all,
Mike and Cathy Moody
and Billie Barr

Virginia was a special lady. I don’t think I ever spent a time with her that she didn’t have me rolling in laughter. She loved her family and grandkids and she was always on call for anything they needed. I remember calling her a time or two (or more 😉) for the Barr kids and she was ready to set them straight or pick them up if they were sick... you never had any doubts that she loved being their grandma! I will miss her so very much. I always told her she reminded me of my Grandma Red and I can imagine that heaven is full of laughter with those two up there! 

Don't know how to express the feeling I am feeling. I have lost my little sister and best friend.  We always called each other on Sunday. She called me one week then I called her the next. I find myself wanting to pick up the phone to call her then remember I can't.  
I remember when she was born. She was such a pretty baby. It had been 6 years since we had a baby in the house. My sister just older than me told mama if she brought that baby home she would flush it down the toilet. But as time passed we couldn't get enough of her. We all said she looked like the gerber baby.  So precious.  I will always hold my memories of her close to me and never let go.  Miss you Ginner. Will see you again one day. 

The memories of the talks and our laughs over the years will always be special. I know how much you loved the Lord and the peace you had in his love and you had so much faith. You will always be in my heart Love you Bo

It doesn't matter how long Ginner was with us she will always be the young girl that came into my life with I was 12 and took my oldest brother.  At first things were - I guess you could say Strained.  She had my brother's heart and jealousy was abundant.  Than she handed me that live baby doll - Donald Christopher.  He became mine and she became a true friend.  The 3 of them lived here in Seguin and with me and Chris in tow we got in that pickup and drove every backroad in town.  We laughed together as we would pick out the "perfect" young man for me.  And off we went following him and laughing as her pointed toes barely touched the gas peddle.  There were 3 years between us and because of that we were friends not sister-in-laws.  As time went by and difficulties of life started she grew into the woman who brought my idol, my brother, back to life after his stroke.  Things were hard but she never complained.  As 1 year turned to 5 which turned to 20 and before you knew it there we were on a cruise celebrating 40 years.  As I looked at my brother and her sitting across from me the love they share could be seen in their eyes.  At times no one else was in the room or the ship for that matter - just them.  I can hear her laughing now as we all 4 climbed in that little clown car and it fell to 1' off the ground.  But off we went in Belize to find some good seafood.  Now as I think of Ginner I can't help but smile at the idea of her, momma, Granny Houston and Aunt Jean playing an epic game of Skip Bo.  My heart breaks that we have lost you so young but as a tear starts I hear your laugh and see you sitting on the couch with your toes not quite touching the floor and know how lucky we were...….. Love you Ginner and rest in peace now

My mother was my hero, she always kept the fort down and she was a very strong minded woman, she always showed love and compassion, she also introduced me to a leather strap when needed. Loosing my mother has been the toughest thing I’ve ever experienced .. She knows it’s hard for me to open up, she always wanted me to let it out, I love you mama more than you could ever imagine. I’m angry, I’m feel destroyed inside.. I will always think of you and never forget you!

I met Virginia in 1993 when I began my banking career.  She referred to me as “Little Bit” because I was the youngest in the department.   Although we went our separate ways we often called on each other for help and advice over the years. We loved to catch up on family and mutual friends when we would run into each other around town.   I will never forget her kindness and will always treasure our friendship.  Praying for her family, she loved them all so much.  RIP sweet angel.

My sweet beautiful amazing sassy aunt Virginia ! I’m missing you so much there just ain’t enough words! Thank you for always being there and giving me love and direction. You was so much more than a aunt to me, you was like a mother. I’m so thankful for that day we got to just set and talk and the talk you had with Tori ! She was looking forward to the air to clear so she could spend the day with you and you could show her all your makeup tips !  Simply amazing is the only word that comes close to  who you was ! I love you so much and miss you to the moon and back !

I love you so much Virginia . You was always a good sister to me and always helped me anyway you could !  I will see you in paradise one day love always your big brother I miss you 

Virginia was always there when you needed someone. To help you with a problem. She was always like a mom to me. Especially growing up. I will always love her and miss her. 

I have known Virginia since the mid 80s when she went to work for Texasbanc Savings in Conroe. She was a wonderful friend and we had a lot of good times. When we moved to Colorado in 1992 we stilled talked on the phone and kept in touch. She became like a 2nd mom to my daughter Sherry when they found each other in church. We reconnected when we moved back to Conroe in 2015. She was there for me when my younger daughter Michelle passed away in 2015 and again when my husband passed away in 2016. She was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed. RIP Virginia. The lord has another angel. ❤️❤️❤️

Virginia you were a special friend. We had some long talks and a lot of laughs. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to meet you. You are special to so many people in your life. You will truly be missed. 

Mom, l miss you so much. You tought me so many things in life. You always told me to love with all my heart, forgive and forget, have faith and trust God. I am struggling right now. I didnt realize how much I depended on you daily until I couldn't ask your opinion anymore. Right now, I feel like a little boy in grocery store who can't find his mama. I'm scared and looking for you. I know you are in a better place and I will keep Jesus in my heart with hope of seeing you again one day.  

Virginia was always so kind and welcoming to me. I loved hearing her stories of when her and Sabrina were young and of my husband Rl jr. as a small child.  She will missed deeply. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I still can't believe that you are gone.  You could always make me laugh and you had a way of making everyone around you happy.  You were tough when you needed to me, fearless at times and other so gentle and kind.  I loved how you loved the Lord.  We cried many times for our loved ones that lost their faith and we prayed for them and each other.  My favorite story is the one she told me about working at Amerigas, those big old boys thinking they could push her around or scare her, she put them all in their place quickly and earned respect while doing it.  She was one of kind and I will miss her dearly.  Comfort comes from knowing she is in Heaven today with God, happy and healthy. 

You are going to be missed so much here at the bank. I always enjoyed sitting and talking with you. Rest easy. Love you.
