Barbara Ann Flynn

Barbara Flynn passed away peacefully on the afternoon of June 7, 2025; in the Edmond home she had lived in for over 54 years. Born Barbara Ann Patric on August 4,1933 just five minutes before her surviving identical twin sister Patricia Ann (Patsy). The twins were born to John and Annette (Falke) Patric in the front room of the families two-bedroom house at NW 45th and Classen. They joined brothers Freddie, Jimmy and Billy to complete the Patric family.

Barbara graduated from Classen H.S. in 1951 sharing athletic honors with Patsy as they excelled in many sports. She then began working for Oklahoma Farm Bureau.

Barbara met the love of her life Maury (Sonny) Flynn in an OKC bowling league. She and Sonny were married on Oct.1,1955. The following weekend they attended their “honeymoon” OU/Texas game and then began the tradition of going to every OU home football game but one until 2008 upon Sonny’s passing. She was forced into retirement on Jan.1,1962 because she was 3 months pregnant with their first-born son Kevin. In 1965 they added son Mark. Moving from OKC to Edmond in 1971, she enjoyed the roll of Mother for 10 days shy of 63 years. She was a volunteer at Mercy Hospital for 30+ years.

The closeness of she and her twin was witnessed by all that knew them, so please keep Patsy in your prayers.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents and brothers as well as Sonny and Kevin. She is survived by Patsy, Mark, numerous nieces and nephews and so many wonderful neighbors over the years who treated her like gold.

The Earth can have her worn out body. Those that knew her can carry on her beautiful spirit and Jesus can guide her soul into the hands of the Almighty God.

A visitation for Barbara will be held Wednesday, June 11, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Baggerley Funeral Home. A funeral service will occur Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 2:00 PM with burial to follow at Memorial Park Cemetery.
