It is with joy that we announce that Barbra Worth (Harrison) Molder was called home to Heaven on May 24, 2025, in Holly, Colorado at the age of 91. She was a resident of the Holly Nursing Care Center and a member of the Living Hope Fellowship Church and was one of their board members.

Barbra was born on the 8th day of January in 1934, to Arthur Edward Harrison Sr and Hazel Louie (Collins) Harrison of Clovis, New Mexico. She was one of seven children born into the family. Later in her life her family moved to Godly, Texas. She attended Godly High School where she loved to play basketball for her high school and help her father on their dairy farm. While she was a senior in high school she married Cleon Myles Molder of Granbury, Texas on February 5,1952 in Cleburne, Texas.

 In those 65 years of marriage Barbra had a very busy life. She was a jack of many trades so to speak. She followed her husband into driving trucks and was a team driver (First Female Truck Driver), she drove a school bus for the Monte Vista School District, she followed her husband in the calling to create Creede Baptist Church in Creede, Colorado from their living room in their trailer house, to helping her husband drill many of the water wells in the San Luis Valley with M&G drilling. She also was a nursery Sunday School Directory for Southside Baptist Church in Granbury, Texas, and her and her husband went on several mission trips with their churches and taught at MTA Trucking Driving School in Commerce City, Colorado. In her free time, she loved to garden be it vegetables or flowers, raise chickens, run a dog kennel, or do sewing and crocket beautiful Afghans and other crafts, or setting next to a lake, or camping next to a river to go fishing, she also loved to go big game hunting with her husband. There was not much Barbra did that her husband was not involved in or close by. She was always excited about getting new babies in her family and spoiling them. She would also teach anyone that was willing to listen about God and read them the bible.
