Barbara had two passions in life, church missions and travel. She was a member of Trinity Baptist Church in San Antonio, Texas from 1959 until her death, where she filled many roles and promoted, and participated in, mission work through the decades. Barbara traveled extensively and visited areas of Central and South America, Egypt, Israel, and other points in the Middle East. She visited most countries in Europe including Cold War era Eastern European countries, Greece, Italy, France, Germany, several Mediterranean Isles, and many others. Her favorite travel locations were in Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and England, where she had many extended visits and made life-long friends. On-line condolences may be sent at www.Coxfuneral.net.
