Barbara Lou Reese was born April 24, 1934, to William Rodney and Delores Mellor Glasgow at home in Fairview, Oklahoma. Barbara passed quickly and peacefully to her eternal reward on August 13, 2021, at Fairview Regional Medical Center in Fairview, Oklahoma, surrounded by her loving family. She loved and was well-loved by all who knew her. Her beautiful smile and sweet laugh will be a lasting memory.
Barbara graduated high school in Aline, Oklahoma. She married her husband Charles Reese February 1, 1953, and traveled alone to Wiesbaden, Germany, where he was stationed to start their married life together. Upon her return to Fairview in 1954, she supported her husband and the entire Reese family farming operation, preparing and serving countless meals for hungry farm hands for over 20 years.

She was a member of P.E.O. and Eastern Star. A talented seamstress, she sewed many outfits for her children and passed on her knowledge to daughter Cindy. She loved to paint, having taken instruction from Bill Krause. She was also proud to claim a deer nearly every season for many years.
Barbara became a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, serving clients throughout northwest Oklahoma for decades, and was proud to be honored as the National 1998 Lora Roe Memorial Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselor of the year.
