Barbara Mae Dallon Rhea died Monday, October 6, 2025 in Moore, Oklahoma at the age of 89. She was born March 8, 1936 to parents LTC Bill and Ethel Dallon in Evanston, Illinois. Being in a military family meant they were stationed at various duty stations during World War II but their home base always returned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Barbara attended Washington Elementary and graduated from Lawton High School in 1954. Upon graduation she attended Cameron State College briefly before being employed by Southwestern Bell Telephone for many years and then becoming a government programmer at Fort Sill. She remained at Fort Sill and continued her education at Cameron University before marrying another LHS classmate and transferring to Germany to complete her career. She was always proud of the fact that finally she was able to learn to take up golf and continued playing every chance she could with a 9 hole group at Fort Sam Houston until her move to Moore, Oklahoma in 2018. Barbara was a very talented seamstress and gave her talent freely to her girls as they where growing up and then to several historical organizations in San Antonio prior to her move back to Oklahoma to be closer to family.

She is survived by her children: Ronda Love Norrell (Jack), Joni Love Malone (David) and Marci Love Netherland (Mike deceased); grandchildren: Jena Williams (Evan), Haley Ward (Christopher), Kalyn Norrell (Hank Graham), Luke Netherland, Sarah Netherland (Wayan Sukarta); great grandchildren: Taylor Ward, Asa Ward, Gunnar Ward, Dublin Ward, Connor Williams, Tucker Williams, Surya Dinata, and Alex Netherland.
