Barbara Ann Waclawczyk Barnes, age 61, left the pain and agony of leukemia and peripheral neuropathy behind in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 28, 2008.
She was born in Floresville on March 14, 1947 to the late Louis Waclawczyk and Cecelia Felux Waclawczyk. She graduated from Floresville High School.

After a whirl wind courtship lasting 30 days they were married in the bonding court in Chicago, IL April 9, 1971 where Marvin was assigned as an Air Force Recruiter.
Barbara worked primarily in the banking industry where she was the manager of a loan processing department in Twin Falls, ID at the time of her retirement due to her disability from the neuropathy. Barbara was very active in Kairos Prison Ministry International where she and her husband were instrumental in starting the first Kairos weekend in the state of Idaho.
