Barbara was born on September 30, 1940, to Henry Edward Sr. and Lucille Virginia Jones, who both preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death was her husband Robert Allen Halcombe Sr., her brothers William Edward and Henry Edward Jones, and her daughter Dorothy Burkhart. Barbara is survived by her husband Jose Zamarippa, her children Robert Allen Halcombe Jr. and Patricia Hocking, six grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren, as well as many other relatives and friends. In addition to being an avid lover of wolves, she had an absolute love of football, and was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Barbara made friends wherever she went and cared deeply about those around her. Living life to the fullest was her goal, and she certainly achieved it, continuing to knock items off her bucket list as the years went on. She received her Associates Degree later in life on a whim and desire for continued growth, traveled, rode a camel, and took an indoor skydiving class! There are many lessons about living from Barbara that remain with us. She will be well and truly missed by everyone who knew her.
