Barbara Lynn Wilkerson

Barbara Lynn Wilkerson, 61, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021, in Webster.

Barbara was born on March 8, 1959, in Texas City, to Howard “Frank” and Mary Wilkerson. She graduated from Texas City High School in 1977. A few years after graduating, Barbara moved to Mexia. In 1994, she returned to Texas City and worked for Shopper’s Mart convenience stores for many years. Barbara loved to laugh, dance and be surrounded by her family. Her sassy comments will be greatly missed by all.

Barbara was preceded in death by her grandparents, Howard Franklin Wilkerson Sr., Marguerite and Cecil Easterling, and Homer and Lois Martin; parents Howard Franklin “Frank” Wilkerson Jr. and Mary Wilkerson.

She is survived by her son, David Lee and wife Letha Curry; daughter Erin Curry; sister Deanna and husband Lenny Edwards; granddaughters Percy, Pippa and Penny Curry as well as many nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.

The family of Barbara Wilkerson wishes to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has been there to help Barbara out the last few years. She loved everyone and never met a stranger.

Funeral services were held Saturday, Jan. 23, with a visitation immediately preceding the funeral at Emken-Linton Funeral Home in Texas City.
