Nieces and nephews Heather Nash of Vancouver, Washington, Eric Nash of New Braunfels and Greg Nash of Spring Branch. Also, George's children: Tanya, Bob and Don Dawkins.
She lived in Lafayette, Dallas, Grand Junction, Los Angeles, and Austin. She returned to Houston in 1973, where she raised her children and was involved in various businesses in Houston and Austin. In 2002, she moved to Grand Junction and then finally to Durango where she enjoyed spending her time with her grandson, Garrett, and forging many great friendships in the community. She will be missed by many.
Barbara gained a love for Mexico in her early years. Beginning with Puerto Vallarta in the '50's and ultimately Ajijic.

Barbara was a neighbor, friend, and worthy cribbage opponent. Her outgoing ways, and happy demeanor made her a welcome member of our cribbage club. I am so sad and sorry her life was cut too short. Her energy, love of life and people should have carried her another 10 years...at least. I miss you Barbara.
