Barbara was a graduate of Whitney High School in Whitney, Texas where she was active in Journalism and sports. After graduating from high school, Barbara spent two years in Dallas, Texas where she worked for Southwestern Insurance. Thereafter, she relocated to Houston, Texas where she worked as a computer operator and programmer for Houston Shell and Concrete until 1979.  While in Houston, Barbara became a member of Memorial Lutheran Church where she met her future husband Fredrick Charles Hoffman in the singles organization. Barbara and Fred married on October 27, 1973 at Memorial and remained married until her death, just shy of 50 years.

Barbara was a loving wife to, and is survived by, her husband Fred. She was also a caring and supportive mother to her daughters Allyson Johnson (son-in-law Josh) of Dallas, Texas and Kimberly Dobbins of Dallas, Texas.
