Barbara’s hobbies included going to yard sales, smoking cigarettes, and watching tv shows such as Criminal Minds.  She always kept up with CNN World News-we swore she was going to run for President!  Her favorite dishes to cook were chicken and dumplings and green bean casserole. She sure did love her fur babies Pete and Grayson.  But most of all she loved spending time with her grandkids.

She was proceeded in death by her parents, siblings: John Lee Vance, Buddy Vance, Hank Jerome Thomas Vance, Junior Lee Vance, Larry Thomas Vance, Victor Wayne Vance, Alice Bernice Vance, Robert Lee Vance, and a special son Jason Nofire.

Barbara is survived by a very loving family that includes her children: Christie Sanders and companion Kent Teehee of Stilwell, OK, Carrie Farmer and husband Jay of Sallisaw, OK, Candace Sanders and companion Jason Duncan of Stilwell, OK, Melinda Moten-Alley and husband Shawn of Stilwell, OK; grandkids: Ethan “Toddy” Fourkiller, Summer Nofire-Foreman and husband Jerrid, Kane Moten, Keegan Nofire, Jason “Bubba” Nofire, Cadence Smith, Jaylea Farmer, Treyton Smith, Ryker Alley, Kent “Shuggie” Teehee, Kylan Duncan; great-grandkids: Beckett Foreman, Quest Fourkiller, and Major Nofire; siblings: Ernest F.
