Barbara Davis Branstetter

Barbara, 65, of Deer Park, TX, passed away at her home following her brave battle with cancer. Barbara was born in St. Louis, MO, to Jerry and Phyllis Davis. Her early years were spent in Illinois, New York, and New Jersey. The Davis Family moved to Texas in early 1970.

Barbara graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Houston. Barbara was a long-time employee of Shell, beginning her career at the young age of 18. She started in the secretary pool using punch cards and shorthand to working with laptops and Zoom meetings. With close to 40 years of service, she retired during "The Great Crew Change".

Barbara was a very proud woman who valued her privacy and independence. She loved her cats, often referring to herself as CCCW - Certified Crazy Cat Woman. Barbara adored her family and friends, but she loved her mid-life crisis purchase, the "Furious Fuchsia", a Dodge Hemi V-8 Challenger. She was known to say "drive it like you stole it".

In March 1994, Barbara married the love of her life, Miles "Skip" Branstetter II, surrounded by family and friends. She and Skip enjoyed over 30 beautiful years of marriage.
