Barbara Ann Longoria

Barbara Ann Longoria, 78, of Houston TX, passed away on March 10 2025. She was born in Crockett TX on June 5 of 1946 to parents Preston and Angeline Crofford. Barbara worked as a service manager at K-MART for 20 years.

She had a passion for traveling—going to casinos and eating out with her family and friends.

She had a zest for life despite the difficult hand she was given. She always found a way to find joy in the little moments. She was the most giving person, often giving more than she had as her own sacrifice.

She loved going on trips with her many grandkids and great grandkids. She was a Catholic at heart but as she got older and faced health issues she did not make service as often as she wanted to. She would often say, "God knows I pray to him, He understands." She was the best at doing something randomly, saying or doing something totally unexpected from a grandmother (like riding a tricycle).

She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Preston Crofford and Angeline Crofford; grandmother, Mary Ann Wysocki; siblings, Preston Leonard Crofford and James Lee Crofford; daughter, Kimberley Diane Havard; and grandson Scott Savory.

She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Shirley and Benjamin Nail; sons, Kenneth Havard and wife Amanda Havard, and Michael Havard Sr.; daughters, Deborah Longoria and Samantha Galvan; and Sam and Twilight Longoria.

She is also survived by her many grandchildren, Joshua Havard,Michael Havard JR and daughter-in-law Melissa Havard, Jamie Capps, Jackelyn Capps, Collin Capps, Jose Rosette, Kennely Havard, Kimberley Bulgier, Samuel Rosette, Arthur Galvan III, Nicolas Galvan, Jasmine Galvan; great granchildren, Noami Rodriguez, Zyriah Lewis, Savannah Rodriguez, Sarynedy Lewis, Jeremiah Stewart, Josiah Stewart, Londynn Cardell, Xavier Rodriguez, Raelynn Cardell, Forrest Bulgier, Gracie Havard, Prestley Havard, Dylan Gaskamp, Melinda Skweers, Alora Gaskamp,
