Loretta was a wonderful mother to my best friend, Terry. My memories of visiting their home are of a loving welcoming home to her children's friends. She was gracious and kind. She loved her children and she loved Joe. I feel blessed to have known her through the many years Terry and I have been friends.

Ms. Loretta, was a friend of my grandparents, Heliodor and Aniela Sztark, Weslaco residents after World War II until their passing in the 1960s. I had the privilege of experiencing Ms. Loretta's hospitality and generosity in 2020. She took us to visit my grandparents' neighborhood, then over the border into Mexico, walking on a dirt path in 90 degree heat and humidity to locate an opening along the border wall until we were uninvited by Border Patrol officers. She and the restaurant manager where she hosted lunch traded memories from her many visits there. Lasting memories made! She was truly one of a kind, a live fully lived and made the world a better place. Deep condolences and prayers to her family.
So sorry to hear the news of Mrs. Barbee’s passing. She was a wonderful lady, I know she will be missed by so many people. Sending lots of hugs and love to Susan, Terry and the rest of the family.
