Barbee loved to sing and perform and would use any audience available.
Barbee is survived by husband Alton Howell of Bridgeport; daughter Melissa Monk and husband Richard of Bridgeport; sons Danny Chapman and wife Katie of Springtown, Texas, Larry Howell of Cleburne, Texas; siblings Larry Jernigan of Cisco, Texas, David Jernigan of Brownwood, Texas, Petty Harris of Early, Texas, and Bryant Jernigan of Eastland, Texas, grandchildren Isaac, Sarah, Camri, Hannah, Danny Ray, Jr., twins Ashanti and Armonie, Mariah, Timothy, Landon, Annabelle, Rose, and Paisley; and great-grandchildren Jesiah, Doddi and Penelope.
