Obituary

Barbara June (Renshaw) Willoughby, went to be with the Lord, from Ash Grove Health Care Facility, on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. Barbara was the daughter of Winfred (Wimp) and Lillian (Brooks) Renshaw. She was born near Pearl, Missouri on September 20, 1934.

Barbara married her high school sweetheart on December 12, 1952. In 1955 Barbara went to be with Bill while he was in the service in Maryland. In 1956 they bought a farm, sight unseen between Willard and Walnut Grove. She was a helpmate in every sense of the word. She helped milk, go after cows, garden, she was a great cook, she loved to sew and make clothes. They worked, ate, slept, prayed, and read the Bible together. There was such a void for daddy when she went to the nursing home. They enjoyed 65 years together before Alzheimer's disease separated them in 2018 and then Bill's passing in April of 2019.

Bill and Barbara faithfully attended: Rosehill Baptist Church, Kingsway Freewill Baptist, Northside Assembly of God, and the Sac River Cowboy Church. Barbara taught Sunday school for many years. She taught her daughter and granddaughters about God and His Word. Bill and Barbara blessed many ministers and evangelists, over the years. Many times, they would load up a Bible college student and help move them to their new ministry. They enjoyed traveling. God blessed them greatly.

Barbara is survived by her daughter, Brenda Decker and husband Danny of Walnut Grove. Two granddaughters, Katrina Viau and husband Mike of Bonita Springs, Florida, and Trish Simmons and husband Carroll of Walnut Grove. Six great grandchildren: Easton and Stormy Spickard, Victoria and Alexandria Simmons, Dorothy and Matthew Viau. Barbara had many nieces and nephews. She loved her cousins and had fond memories of Thanksgiving at Granny Renshaw's.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and sister, Irma (Renshaw) Edmonson.

Thank you to the staff of Ash Grove Health Care for taking such good care of mother and loving her.
