Barbara Jean Morton was an honest warrior who insisted that everyone just "keep it real" with her. She loved her church, the usher board, peppermint candy, bottled cherry Pepsi, cross-stitching and watching good old-fashioned Westerns on TV. She was a courageous fighter and endured health issues, through it all she never complained. While being on Dialysis for over twenty years, she remained constant and steadfast in her faith. She loved to attend Bible Study and had a strong relationship with God. After her passing, she still gives to others. She was an organ donor and in return she helped transform many lives.
