The eldest of four siblings, Barbara spent her early years in the Valley before graduating high school in Corpus Christi. Soon after graduation, she met the love of her life, Jimmie Lane Counts, and they married on June 4, 1955. They went on to have six children. Those children provided her with 18 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Her legacy lives on in each of them. She made it a point to have a very special relationship with each of her babies.
