She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Steve Barnes; daughters, Jennifer Buck (Taft) and Kate Buehler (Rob); three grandchildren, Chandler (Cole), Ashleigh, and Will; one great-grandson, Wells; sisters Donna Nehring and Brenda Griffin; and twelve nieces and nephews. Her family was a great blessing in her life. She was preceded in death by her parents, L.C. Lankford and Edith Lankford Moore; brother Cecil Lankford, sisters Jean May Morris and Joy Brown; and two nieces.

A burial and graveside service will be held at 3:00 p.m., Friday, February 13, 2026, at Old Celina Cemetery in Celina, Texas, with a celebration of life to follow.

“I am the resurrection and the life… Whoever believes in me shall never die.”
