She was born August 18, 1951, the daughter of William C. and M. Ruth Purple, both deceased. She married Tony D. Guinn on December 9, 1967, until his passing on September 19, 2003.
She is survived by her daughter, Michele D.

Barbara loved traveling. She and Tony traveled to 37 states, mostly in their RV's. After his death, she pulled the fifth-wheel trailer herself and traveled that way. She also loved the beach. Any time someone asked her where she wanted to go, the answer was always the beach.
