Jim and Barbara had two children, Steve and Scott.

She was a legal secretary for many years as well as a bookkeeper for a local doctor.

Inspired by her Aunt Dorothy, Barbara became an accomplished painter.

She is survived by her son Scott L. (Liz) Morris; grandchildren Katie, Joe, Anna and Matt Morris; great-grandchildren Asa and Lola Thorne; and niece Amy Quintanilla.
