							82nd birthday. Barbara lived a full and happy life 
							and she did it her way with a “Smile” and “Grace”. 
							 
							Barbara was a very special lady who received her 
							wings and went to be with her Lord and Savior. She 
							was a loving, caring, and faithful lady that lived 
							her life for the Lord each and every single day of 
							her life.

							all of Lincoln; eleven grandchildren; many 
							great-grandchildren; and even more 
							great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by 
							four sisters, one brother, and many nieces and 
							nephews. 
							 
							Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; one 
							son, Timothy Prince; one daughter, Sheryl Lou 
							Hudson; one son-in-law, David Hudson; and seven 
							siblings.   | 
							
							 
					
					  
							She was a member of Full Gospel
