Lois g Barber

Our beloved Lois G. Barber passed away Dec. 18th 2020 in Star Valley Health with complications of a broken hip at the age 92. She was born to the parents Ray and Winona Goodfellow (deceased) in Burley, ID. She grew up with her siblings Betty Lou Staley (deceased), Doris Wilson, Richard Goodfellow, Darrel Goodfellow (deceased), and Reid Goodfellow (deceased). Later Lois married Douglas Barber and moved to Centerville, UT where they built their lives with 6 beloved children Kathleen Garrison, Stephen Barber (deceased), Donald Barber, Farrin Barber, Cynthia Barber, and Lynette Anderson. She continued the family legacy with six grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.
Lois and Doug moved to Alpine, WY in 1978 to build a family business known as BG’s mercantile. Their hard work and dedication to the community is still withstanding with the business known as Bananas. Lois later moved to Jackson, WY in 1998 to work at Ripley’s Believe it or Not for 10 years and graced another community with her kindness and diligent loyalty.
The love and selflessness of Lois will forever be ingrained in our hearts. She taught everyone in her presence the importance of preserving no matter what circumstances was thrown her way and to always protect and forgive those you love.
There is no better way to describe Lois’ personality than “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
