She grew up there, graduating from Lamar High School. She left Houston to attend Baylor University and It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Carroll Overton. They were married for 56 years.

Barbara, "Mimi", found her greatest joy in the time spent with family. She was our number one fan. Whether a baseball, football, basketball game or a dance recital, grandparents day or just a lunch date, she was there. Her smile would light up a room, and you always knew she would be there, with more love and pride than one person seemed capable of.

She loved the outdoors, with a passion for hunting and fishing, an activity she enjoyed sharing with her husband, children and grandchildren and many friends.

We love you Mimi, "to the moon and back".
