Gloria was born on August 27, 1941, to George and Ollie Myers in Brady, Texas. She graduated from Rochelle High School in 1959 and from Howard Payne University in 1963. She married Kenneth Wayne Barr on August 27, 1960, at the Rochelle Baptist Church. They recently celebrated 65 years of marriage in August 2025.

She taught school, coached, and directed One Act plays for over 30 years. After her retirement, she and Kenneth moved back home to Rochelle where she opened her Barrtiques antique store in both Rochelle and Brady. She was a very talented artist who was selected to showcase her paintings at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in 2022. She was a devoted member of Rochelle Baptist Church where she was the choir director for over 20 years.

Momma Barr, a woman who wore many titles so effortlessly, and a beautiful mom – a woman of endless talent, courage, grit, grace and endless creativity. She was a teacher in every sense of the word. Not just in the classroom, but in life. She did not just teach lessons from books she taught strength. Compassion. Creatively. She believed in people before they believed in themselves, she taught courage, resilience, and how to show up fully for the people around you. She believed in her students fiercely and helped them see gifts in themselves they didn’t even know they had.

She directed plays with vision and heart, and then lovingly sewed every costume by hand so her students could step onto that stage feeling proud and confident. She didn’t just teach art — she modeled what it meant to live creatively. She didn’t just direct plays — she built community.

She could paint with any medium and turn a blank canvas into something breathtaking. Her artwork was nothing short of remarkable. Oils, acrylics, watercolor-and master each one. Her paintings weren’t just beautiful; they told stories. They captured light, emotion and landscape, they carried pieces of her spirit in every brushstroke. Her art lives on in homes, on walls and in hearts-little windows into the way she saw the world. She did not just create art with her students-she create confidence.

And she had an eye for antiques that amazed everyone. She could walk into a barn, an estate sale, or a dusty corner of a shop and instantly recognize what others would have dismissed. Where others saw junk, she saw history, craftsmanship, stories just waiting to be told. Where others saw clutter, she saw treasure, she recognized value that most people overlooked-in objects and in people. She knew the difference between worn out and well loved. She understood eras, markers, details-the weight of the real wood, the hand stitching, and the patina that only time can create.

She was fearless enough to hunt rattles snakes on ranches and gas out dens when needed — strong, capable, and unafraid of hard things. Yet she was also the one who would rescue and rehabilitate any injured or abandoned animal she found. From all the Owl, crows, bobcats, roadrunners, foxes, raccoons, skunks, fawns, ringtail cats- she didn’t just love animals-she fought for them. She opened her home-The Barr Zoo- her time and her heart without hesitation. And they loved her back. She bottle fed. She bandaged. She rehabilitated. She stayed up through the night, she gave them not just shelter, but a chance. Because to her, their lives mattered.

She was strong, capable, compassionate, and deeply loved by all who knew her. Her home was a safe place. Her wisdom was steady. Her love was constant.

She was loved by so many because she gave so much of herself — her time, her talent, her laughter, her heart, her voice, her love and the way she made everyone feel important will live on in every life she touched.

She loved so deeply that every inch of her home is covered with traces of her children, her grandchildren, and great grandchildren…her treasures. Everything she loved, she loved like it was priceless.

God calls us to love, because God is love. We are called to be salt and light. She loved Jesus and that love poured into her life. That is her legacy, a legacy of love.

She will be missed more than words can hold. But her way of seeing the world through a beautiful lens will live on in all of us she touched.

Gloria was proceeded in death by her parents, her brothers Maynard and Willie Myers, and beloved son Jefferson Lance Barr.

She is survived by her husband of 65 years Kenneth Barr of Rochelle, her son Greg Barr and wife Teresa of Rochelle, her daughter Christie Viles and husband Joe of Lubbock, granddaughters Tiffany Moorman and husband Cade of Wall, Briana Wilde and husband Cory of Greenwood, Sydni Flowers and husband Darius of Aledo, and grandson Cody Barr and girlfriend Meagan of San Angelo.

She is also survived by her sister Christine Pulsifer of Austin, sister-in-law Sara Myers of Rochelle, and daughter-in-law Leigh Ann Barr-Smith of Wall, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Pallbearers will be son Joe Viles, grandsons Cade Moorman, Cory Wilde, Darius Flowers, and Cody Barr, and great nephew Brodey Myers.

The family is composing the obituary and it will be posted shortly.

He was born a giant. He lived as a giant. He died just the right size. Born September 19, 1931 in Texarkana, Texas it didn’t take long for Osler Paul Smith to make a name for himself in the sports page of the Texarkana Gazette. Even though the Chicago White Sox offered him a spot as a left handed pitcher, basketball was his true love. He was offered scholarships at Arkansas and Baylor, but didn’t want to be too far away from his high school sweetheart, Jane, who would later become his wife and our mother. He opted to play at East Texas Baptist, then Lambeth College in Tennessee, and finally at Mississippi College, where he finally graduated. Afterward he started his life as a true Renaissance man. Between college and his time in the Air Force as a radar specialist, he lived in Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado and finally his dream spot. Alaska. It was here that he and Jane exposed their yearning for adventure. He worked at a salmon cannery, taught school, coached basketball, worked for the Alaskan railroad and the Alaska Fish and Game as a stream guard. Life was about facing the elements, finding the undiscovered lake, and flying his plane to Anchorage for groceries. The three trips he and Jane took driving the unpaved Alaskan highway back to Texas must have cemented their union. Two of the kids, Becky and Margaret, were born in Seward before their final journey back to the lower forty-eight in 1960. From here he taught school and worked as a school counselor until he decided what he wanted to do as a grown up. The last two kids, Stephen and Bonnie, were both born in Texarkana. His family was complete. He finally took the leap and began his PhD program in psychology at East Texas State. He wrote his PhD dissertation in a camper on the back of our Dodge pick-up in the driveway in Greenville, Texas while Jane bought groceries on her teacher salary. For a couple of years us kids wondered where Dad was. He was in the driveway the whole time. That’s not entirely accurate, however. From the day we were all born, he was the roll on the floor and laugh with you kind of dad. He loved when we occupied his lap. He extended joy. We were never poor because we never wanted more than we had. Christmas was always magical. Every childhood event found Paul Smith cheering the loudest. He was always there. He was always present.

He finally gets his doctorate and decides to stay on as the Dean of Men at East Texas State for a year. At the urging of a local pediatrician, he took a leap and we moved to San Angelo in 1971 where he slowly grew his practice as a counseling psychologist. We, the kids, were in the prime of all our extracurricular activities. He was there for every event. Through it all, he was a rock. Patient, kind and loving, he and mom guided us through all our pubescent calamities with grace. It was always a treat, when out in public, someone would tell us what a wonderful father we had. We knew. He was a master at healing the broken psyche of those who sought his counsel. Even for us. Beyond that, he could rebuild a Chevy 350 engine. Make anything out of wood, garden like an Irishman, engage in intelligent conversions about politics, history, religion and philosophy. He was an avid WW2 history buff, always with a book in his hand. He adored our mother and was her nurse for years prior to her death. He was preceded in death by his wife, Sadie Jane. He is survived by his sister Charlotte Murdock in Texarkana, four children, Becky Rawls, Margaret Wimpee, Stephen Smith and Bonnie Smith. His grandchildren Sarah, Clint, Brandon, Megan, Zach, Graham, Abbie and nine great grandchildren all of whom adored their Papaw. He was easy to adore. Special thanks to his caregivers Marie, Alma and Maudlyne. He was born a giant, lived as a giant and died just the right size. Not knowing with one hundred percent certainty if there is a heaven or a hell, it’s certain that wherever his spirit is, it’s a much better place with the presence of Osler Paul Smith.
