Barbara was saved and became a Christian on October 19th, 1958. After graduating from Greenville Senior High School in 1962 she lived with her grandmother for a time in Greenville, TX. She worked at the local garment factory to save money for college. She then moved to Springfield, MO and began attending Baptist Bible College. While working at a part-time job at the garment factory in Springfield she met her future husband, Gary Hough. They were married March 26th, 1965 and remained together until his passing in 2017.
Her early life was filled with adventure. Barbara and Gary loved the outdoors and spent time together camping, canoeing, fishing and skiing. They longed to start a family and were overjoyed with the arrival of their son Todd and daughter Rebecca. Barbara loved traveling with Gary and their children on many fun and interesting vacations. She also enjoyed gardening, cooking, home improvement and making arts and crafts (especially painting).
Barbara and her family were members of South Haven Baptist Church. She and Gary taught children's Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. They also led children's revivals and worked with mission groups.
Barbara worked for many years at Kraft Foods. After retirement she was fond of genealogy and loved researching her family tree. She was also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution with her daughter Rebecca. Later in life she loved spending time with her grandchildren and was a member of the local garden club.
Barbara was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
