Nannette Barrett
Nannette Barrett passed from this life to a glorious one, joining her Father in heaven on May 29, 2009. Sanders Funeral Home will host friends and family from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Sunday evening. Services will be at 2:00 p.m. Monday, June 1, 2009 at Trinity Church. Bacon Heights Pastor Jerry Joplin and Youth Minister Don Baldwin will be officiating.
Nannette was born on August 20, 1966 in Dumas, Texas. Nannette was raised in Stratford, Texas and was active to say the least. From athletics where she starred in Basketball and Tennis for the Elkettes of Stratford High, to band where she was an amazing trumpet player, from Most Popular to Homecoming Queen. She was baptized at First Baptist Church in Stratford and met her future Husband, Danny Barrett in first grade at Mary Allen Elementary, though they didn’t officially fall in love until their Senior year in 1984.
After attending West Texas State University together Nannette and Danny married
on August 22, 1986 and moved to Lubbock where they attended Texas Tech University and became Red Raiders! Nannette was a joy and inspiration to everyone who had the opportunity to meet her. Nan taught preschool and Sunday School, sang in the choir at Bacon Heights Baptist Church where she reflected her love for the Lord and life all her days. Her fondest years were spent teaching preschool and 2nd grade classes at Trinity Christian School where she formed everlasting relationships with teachers, students, and parents alike. She loved her church, Bacon Heights and the people there who have loved her as one of their own. Her greatest joy was her children, Brooks and Baylee, whom she loved with all of her heart. Brooks’ inherited her peacefulness and gentleness and Baylee, her determination and love for singing.
Nan fought a life-long battle with Cancer and kicked its tail for 27 years before escaping its grasp into the hands of the Father. Cancer never defeated her. The amazing strength and unfailing faith she displayed through was more than admirable. Nannette was awarded the American Cancer Society’s Courage Award for the State of Texas in 2003. Her family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses who cared for her so deeply along the way.
Nannette is survived by her husband, Danny Barrett and son, Brooks Barrett, and daughter, Baylee Barrett of Lubbock; Mom and Dad, Bob and Olinda Boardman of Amarillo; brother, Morgan Boardman and his wife, Teresa of Garland, a nephew, Taylor Boardman, and nieces Lynnsey Boardman and Kassi Cox of Garland; I.G. and Margaret Barrett, father and mother-in-law of Amarillo; a brother-in-law, Steve Barrett and wife Janet of Amarillo, and nephew Cody Barrett of Oklahoma City; a sister-in-law Lou Ann Causseaux and her husband Wayne of Dumas, and nephew Chad Causseaux and niece, Julie Causseaux, also of Dumas; and a friend, closer than a sister, Shelly Johnson and family of Lubbock; numerous aunts and uncles and countless great friends.
Nan met her goal and won the race. Nannette will be greatly missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest memorials to the Brooks and Baylee Barrett Trust Fund at American State Bank in Lubbock, 1401 Avenue Q, Lubbock, Texas, 79401.
