Lubbock Avalanche-Journal (TX) — Friday, December 23, 2011
Services for Barbara Ruth Ricketts, 62, of Lubbock will be held Monday, Dec. 26, 2011, in the W.W. Rix Chapel. The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. until service time at the funeral home. Burial will follow in Resthaven Memorial Park. Mrs. Ricketts died Dec. 21, 2011.

Barbara was born Aug. 22, 1949, in Enid, Okla., to Doris Ruth McCracken. She moved to Texas when she was very young and ultimately graduated from Monterey High School in 1968. Barbara married James A. Ricketts on March 1, 1979, and was happily married until his death, Feb. 22, 2001. During her life she, first and foremost, was the best mother in the world. Second to that, she successfully ran The Alarm Co. of Lubbock and Automation Systems with her husband. Throughout her life, she was supremely artistically talented. She created beautiful and unique pieces such as decorated eggs, paintings, ceramics and crocheted afghans.

She will be truly missed and always loved by those she left behind: her daughter, Brandie; her son, Christopher McCracken; her granddaughter, Amber "Ammo"; and her beloved babies, "Rowdy J.," "Selina," "Sir Charles Winslow Ricketts III," "Chuck," "Roxie Girl," and "Teddi."
