Cleo was born April 15, 1915, in Rush Springs, Okla., to Mac and Ruby 
Chambers. She grew up in Brownfield and graduated from Brownfield 
High School in 1933. After graduating beauty school and working for 
several years as a beautician, she married Horace Barton in 1944. 
They began their married life in a small community outside Lamesa, 
where she became a dedicated housewife and wonderful mother to two 
children. In 1956, she and her family moved to Lubbock. Through the 
years she was a room mother, Brownie leader, den mother, bible school 
teacher and Sunday School teacher. She was a 40 year member of 
Trinity Baptist Church and also was a member of the Senior Choir. She 
loved to needlepoint, cook and garden. Following the death of her 
husband, she became a gift wrapper at Gourmet Pantry, where she 
worked for 23 years and assisted her daughter in the growth of the 
business. She was loved by her family, co-workers, and customers.

Cleo is preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, Horace. She is 
survived by her children, Jane Fowler and husband Ed of Lubbock; her 
son, John Barton and wife Ann of San Antonio; and two grandchildren, 
Aaron Fowler and Sarah Barton. Cleo is also survived by three 
brothers, Clevis Chambers of Brownfield, Carl Chambers of Odessa, and 
Claude Chambers of Austin and one sister, Doris Gannon of Ft. Worth.

The family suggests donations be sent to the Children's Miracle 
Network.
