For 57 years, Barbara walked side by side through life with her beloved husband, Andrew West. From the ground up, Barbara and Andrew built a beautiful life together. Barbara was a meticulous homemaker, caretaker, and devoted wife. Remarkably, her partnership with Andrew extended far beyond the walls of their home. Barbara was by his side through every endeavor, working right alongside him in the oilfield and running their well service business. Together, they took pride in tending to their land, raising chickens, along with their favorite SweetPea, and sharing the quiet joys of rural life they created.

Barbara’s greatest joy was her role as a mother to her daughters, Sondria and Jessica, and she is now peacefully reunited with her late son, Waylon. Her unconditional love multiplied with the arrival of her grandchildren - who affectionately knew her as “Meme” – and her great-grandchildren, whom she cherished and loved deeply.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Andrew West; her children, Sondria McCoy and husband Jerry, Jessica West and significant other Johnny Fobbs; her sister, Mary Browning; her five grandchildren: Whitney Kellar, Andrew West, Dillon Kellar, Devante Hellams, and Sydney Simoens and husband Jordan; and her great-grandchildren: McKinley, Hadaley, Gunner, Piper, Bexley, Brooklynn, Grayson, Riley, and Waylon.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Leroy and Opal (Mendenhall) Aylor; her son, Waylon West; her brothers, Billy Aylor, Danny Aylor, Troy Aylor, and Jerry Aylor; and her sister, Pat Aylor.
