Barbara Ann Glaze

Barbara Ann Glaze (McMichael) passed away June 5, 2024 at the age of 84.

She was born July 27,1939 in Abilene, Texas and was the youngest daughter of Neiman and Dessie (Honey) McMichael. She married David Max Glaze in December 1955 and attended Abilene High School.  She retired from Justin Boot/Belt Company in Fort Worth, Texas after many years.

Barbara’s hobbies included growing way too many outdoor plants (so Daddy said), and most of all riding thousands and thousands of miles on the back of their many motorcycles. They visited several cities in the US and Canada, and sometimes they were joined by many of their motorcycle friends.  Good times and lots of memories were made on those motorcycle trips. Above all, Barbara enjoyed spending time with her loving family and friends.

Barbara is survived by her three children, son Marcell (Lurlia) Glaze, daughter Rochelle Drake, daughter Trecia (Michael) Miller and six grandchildren: Christopher Drake, Lindy (Greg) Harvey, Victoria Glaze, Jamie (Kevin) Jurek, Sean (Brittny) de Baun, Merridith Nunley along with 15 great grandchildren: Iana, Gavin, Sage, Brooklyn, Aidan, Layla, Maddie, Benji, Ren, Cuttler, Memphis, Azlynn, Ella, Greyson, Harrison, as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 59 happy years David Max Glaze, parents Neiman and Dessie McMichael, sisters, Jeannie Gillespie and Frances Bryan.  

Celebration of Life for Barbara will be held Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 11:00 AM at Alpine Funeral Home located at 2300 N. Sylvania Ave. Fort Worth, Texas 76111.  

The family would like to thank everyone at Avalon Memory Care in Irving, Texas as well as many VITAS Hospice nurses for all the loving care given to Barbara.
