Barbara Ann (Cunningham) Barrick, 64, Cuba, passed away, Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, at her home in the comforting presence of her devoted husband.

She was born on May 18, 1962, to the late Jerry Cunningham and Mary (Sparks) in Dallas, Texas.

She was united in marriage to Danny Barrick on Feb. 11, 1979.

Barbara was a hardworking and dedicated woman. She worked for over 30 years as a regional manager for Hardee’s, managing the stores in Owensville, Cuba and other stores in the area.

She was long time member of the Deer Creek Church as well as an active volunteer when she was able to.

She was a talented cook as there wasn’t a dish that she couldn’t make. Her favorites were anything that involved pasta.

Barbara took pride in her appearance and always had her hair done up real big, her make-up was just right and jewelry to match.

She always loved going shopping with her mom, which gave her an excuse to get dressed up. Barbara was a people person and had the ability to carry on a conversation with anyone. She truly cared about others, sending cards and checking on folks from time to time.

Barbara looked forward to the times spent with her beloved husband, going out to eat and admiring the beautiful flowers he would plant for her and their home. She didn’t prefer the outdoors, but she was always a good sport when it came to supporting her children and husband at different sporting events. Most of all, Barbara loved her family and friends deeply and she will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by parents, Jerry and Mary; sons, Corey and Travis Barrick; and grandparents, Marvin and Betty Sparks and Levi and Earline Cunningham.

Barbara is survived by husband of 47 years, Danny of Cuba; daughter, Chivonne Dickerson of Florida; grandsons, Landon Dickerson of Florida, Kaden Dickerson and wife Kaleigh of Massachusetts and Corey Barrick, Jr. of Cuba; siblings, Greg Cunningham and wife Kathy of Bland, Andy Cunningham and wife Charlotte of Owensville and Sarah Luechtefeld and husband John of Leslie; nieces; nephews; other relatives; and many friends.
