Ruston Daily Leader - September 27, 2013
MARY MARGARET BARR

Mrs. Mary Margaret Barr, 87, passed away on Tuesday, September 24, 2013 after a 
brief illness. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held Tuesday, 
October 1, 2013, at 10:00 am at Broadmoor United Methodist Church. Officiating 
will be Rev. Ken Irby and Rev. Kathy Wafer of Broadmoor United Methodist Church. 
Mrs. Barr was born Sept. 11, 1926 to Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stamps. She was a proud 
Texan and claimed the entire state as her native home - never wanting to favor 
one city over the other of the many Texas locales in which she resided. She 
attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston and received a degree in 
Chemistry/Medical Technology being one of the few females in the field at the 
time. While attending college, she attended a dance at the Wesley Foundation 
where she met her future husband, Fred Barr. After she and Fred married, they 
made their home in Ruston, LA, for the next 40 years where she raised three 
children and began her very active life in the Methodist church. Mrs. Barr 
became a widow after 46 wonderful years of marriage and moved to Shreveport 
where she spent the last 20 years of her life continuing to be active in the 
Methodist church. She was an active member of both the United Methodist Women 
organization and Church Women United for many years, holding office at the 
local, district, and state level. Mrs. Barr was preceded in death by her parents 
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stamps and her loving husband Fred Barr. She is survived by 
her sister Caroline Stamps, her son David Barr and wife Audry Barr, her daughter 
Mary Anne Barr, her son J.P. Barr, and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, 
and great-grandchildren.
The family would like to express their thanks and sincere appreciation to the 
wonderful staff at Springlake Guest Care, the thoughtful and kind staff of 
Gamble Hospice Care at Springlake, Dr. Teagle and his wonderful staff, and a 
special thanks to Lisa Gellegos, hair stylist extraordinaire at the Gallery Hair 
Studio for making house calls and keeping our "Mommo" beautiful when she could 
no longer travel to the salon. In lieu of flowers the family requests donation 
be made to Broadmoor United Methodist Church or the Mary Margaret Barr Memorial 
Seminary Education Fund at Community Bank of Louisiana.
