Barbara Joyce Skipworth
February 15, 1935 — May 6, 2013
During the early evening hours on Monday, May 6, 2013, God finished a beautiful Heavenly home for one of his most cherished angels, Barbara Joyce (Horn) Skipworth. She was surrounded by her two loving children who faithfully stood by her as she fought a courageous battle that ended in a peaceful transition to her Heavenly home.
Barbara was born February 15, 1935, at a rural home northeast of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma. She attended and graduated from Anadarko Public Schools and graduated with the Class of 1952. Barbara was united in marriage to Donald Skipworth November 1, 1952. She and Donald were lifelong residents of Anadarko, Oklahoma. Barbara served as church secretary for 34 years. She reported that during her many years of service, she worked for 9 different pastors. Barbara was perfect for the position because she had such a loving personality and always had a beautiful smile and an encouraging word. She was truly a peacemaker.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Fate and JoAnn (Cossey) Horn, husband, Donald Skipworth, infant daughter, Ruth Ann Skipworth, brothers, Oris (Bub) Horn and Glen Horn and sister-in-law, Nancy Horn.
She is survived by her two children, Debbie Hoffman and her husband, Russ and Donnie Skipworth and his wife, Gerri, both of Anadarko; grandchildren, Joshua Hoffman of Anadarko, Dr. Andrea Hoffman of Denton, Texas, Amanda Carlile and her husband, Brock of Enid, Oklahoma; great grandchildren, Ava, Ellie and Britton Carlile and Kale Hoffman; sister, Hazel Smith and her husband Milton of Fort Cobb; brother, Hillard Horn; sister-in-law,

service is scheduled for 10:30 A.M., Thursday, May 9, 2013, in the First Baptist Church with
