Barbara Jo Bopp passed away in Big Spring, Texas. Barbara was born September 20, 1957 to Troy and Hattie Faye Richman in Seminole, Texas. Barbara was married to George Burleson in 1980, and raised 3 children, Stephen, James, and Leaila, until his death in 1991. In 1997, Steve and Barbara were united in marriage, until his death in 2012.

Barbara loved people with all her heart and never met a stranger. She adored her grandchildren and always made sure they always came home with a pocket full of treats. She was part of the First Assembly of God Church, Yoakum County Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, and Christian Motorcycle Association. In her younger years, she was an avid bowler and loved country western dancing. She loved her family and loved it the most when everyone would gather and get together at cookouts. She loved Jesus and we will miss her dearly here on earth, but we know she is healed and whole in heaven.
