Anna Mae Bess Barziza Queen, 84, went peacefully to be with our Heavenly Father on January 7, 2023, after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Bess, as she was lovingly known, was born on December 2, 1938, in Houston, Texas where she remained a longtime resident until her untimely departure.
At the age of 18, Bess began a lengthy career with Southwestern Bell later turned AT&T which she retired from with 41 years of service. Bess was well known for her kind, and giving disposition.
She was dedicated to anything she put her mind to and exhibited a hard work ethic which inspired her three children. She was met in heaven by her momma, Mary Emilia Kleb Wolfe, her father, James Herndon Barziza Sr., her brother, James Herndon Barziza Jr., and her sister, Geraldine Marie Brock.
When Bess loved, she loved deeply and that was evident in the way she adored her three children, Tommy, Brian, and Nicole as well as her spouse, Dan. Bess is survived by her husband, Daniel J.
