Barbara Anne Quinn, fondly known as Nana, of Pearland, Texas passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 9, 2022 surrounded by love and family. She was born on April 2, 1940 in Houston Texas to Louise and Alton Mack Elliott, the beloved eldest daughter for the couple.

Barbie met Ken in the late 1950's, quickly falling in love, getting married, and starting a family. She soon found her passion in her early career in banking.  Later in life, she went back to banking with great success and a bonus in finding lifelong friends whom she treasured. She loved her job and was in her element meeting new people and being useful in her community.

Life took an exciting turn in the 1970's when Barbie and Ken ventured into a variety of business adventures. The dynamic couple opened and operated shops including Tookie's Ice Cream Parlor, Big Boys Toys Video Store, Harvey's Pool Service, Westside Florist, and B & K Storage; all the while raising three lively daughters.

Barbara spent many years involved in many projects, including Chamber of Commerce, where she was always trying to find ways to improve her community. In essence, Barbara found joy in giving back to the people around her and forging deep loving relationships with her friends and family.

Barbara was an enthusiastic, beautiful, seafood loving woman that went by many names, including daughter, sister, Nana, aunt, cousin, leader, friend… and her most cherished title mother. She loved being a mother, not only to her daughters, but to everyone in her life.  She was always happy to help and make sure everyone was taken care of.

Barbara is preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, Kenneth Wayne Quinn, and by their beloved youngest daughter Kelly Renee Quinn, whom they both loved and missed deeply.

She is survived by her two daughters Betsy Medeiros and husband Paul; Pamela Bordovsky; and her five grandchildren, Kelsey and Blake Bordovsky, Gracie Burke, Adrienne and Joey Medeiros. As a pillar of the community, she leaves a long list of family and friends who were touched by her kindness and love.  Barbara will be deeply missed and mourned by all including her fur baby Lily, who already misses her dearly.

The service celebrating Barbara's life will be held at 10:00am Monday, March 14, 2022, at Peevey Funeral Home. A reception will follow at County Line Event Center 18232 County Rd 127 Pearland, Tx 77581.
