Barbara Workman, 84, passed away at 4:10 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at Eunice C. Smith Home in Alton.

Born Jan. 15, 1931 in Bennett, Tex., she was the daughter of John Francis and Artie Florence (Dickson) Hesser.  Barbara moved to the Clay City, Ill. area from Texas when her father, who worked for Pure Oil Co., was transferred.  She had just finished the fourth grade.  An artistic lady, she loved to paint and work with ceramics.  She also enjoyed bowling in her younger years.

She married Loren D. Workman on Feb. 8, 1950 in Clay City.  He survives.

Also surviving is a daughter, Rita Jane Workman of Cottage Hills and nieces and nephews that she dearly loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Norman and Johnny Hesser.

According to her wishes, she will be cremated.  The family will hold a memorial service at a later date.

The family would like to extend gratitude to Alton Memorial Hospital and Eunice C. Smith Home for the exceptional care Barbara received.

Memorial donations may be given to Copper Creek Church in Maryville or Lifebrook Church in Bethalto.
