Barbara McKissick
September 15, 2013

Heaven was blessed with an Angel on September 15, 2013. Barbara “Barb” Janet McKissick passed away unexpectedly at the age of 75. She was a dedicated sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Barb met William “Bill” L. McKissick through mutual friends in Iowa. She later moved to California and was chased down by Bill, whom she later married in November 1966.

Left behind to remember Barbara are her beloved husband William, her brother Dennis (Shirley) Helphrey; children, Robin Wittig, Michael (Shawn) McKissick, and April McKissick; grandchildren, Adam Garey, Ambur (BJay) Pitts, Daniel Rodriguez, Cristy (Jose) Calderon, Brittany (Dave) Whitaker, Sidney (Quinton) Cluck, Kristina McKissick, Zane McKissick, and Rhianon Pierce; great-grandchildren Cheyenne Pitts, Katie Gilley, Mikayla Pitts, Autumn Garey, Austin Pitts, Orion Rodriguez, Braydon Pitts, Shea Whitaker, Ethyn Cluck, Kaydon Cluck, and Eivan Whitaker.

If you are moved to remember Barbara in some monetary way, the family requests that you consider a donation to the American Cancer Society on Barbara’s behalf.
