In Memory: Frances Barker

Our Energizer Bunny, the little lady who defied the odds time after time, passed away shortly before noon on Monday, January 24th. Don’s mother will forever live in our hearts and memories and shine as an example of perseverance, determination, spunk, strength, and pure grit. In fact, her life was the “True Grit” movie we will remember.

Live on in heaven, Energizer Bunny! We miss you now but look forward to the day we’ll see you once again…

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;” John 11:25

*Mom’s memorial service will be Saturday the 29th at 2 p.m. Thank you so much for all your prayers. They have been — and continue to be — such a help. Thank you!

  2. I am sorry for the loss in your family. Knowing she is in heaven makes this loss just a tad bit easier I am sure. No pain anymore and she is probably buzzing around up there as well. Praying for you and your family.
