She grew up in Lacy Lakeview and graduated from Connally High School in 1953. On June 10, 1953, she married the love of her life, Weldon Doyle Barnes of Lorena, Texas. Together they became dedicated and loving parents for three children of their own and also a few foster children along the way. She was heavily involved in Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts while raising her children in Amarillo before moving back to Lorena in 1984. For the last 20 years she resided in her childhood home built by her father in Lacy Lakeview. In more recent years she was recognized as "Miss Mary" through her volunteer work with the Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and the EOAC of Waco. She was also known for her ease of conversation with total strangers and her spirited willingness to freely offer advice or an opinion on any subject. She was preceded in death by her parents; Roy and Eva Hickey of Lacy Lakeview; and husband Weldon Barnes of Lorena. She is survived by her three children, Doyle Barnes and wife Pamela, of Amarillo, Gaylen Barnes and wife Paula, of Lorena and Carole Moore and husband Larry of Lorena; a brother, Leroy Hickey, and his wife Ruth, of Greenville, Texas; as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Waco, TX Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Miss Mary was an amazing soul. She would make sure I got a hug and ask about my family when she saw me. Several times she just sat and talked to me and told stories. She was truly kind. I will miss you Miss Mary. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.Dixie
