The daughter of Walter Grant and Georgia Geraldine (Wollaston) Maxey was born in Collinsville, OK on July 22, 1938. She graduated from Sequoyah High School in 1955. In December of that year, she married Virgle Franklin McClure, while he was home on leave from the Navy. They made their home in various communities in northeast Oklahoma, finally settling in the Inola area. She worked as a clerk at Redbud Grocery Store, where she retired in 1991.
Barbara was very active in her community. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church, Sisters of Epsilon, Sigma Alpha, Inola Roundup Club, and Inola Senior Citizens. She enjoyed watching sports, particularly Inola High School basketball. She loved being outdoors, camping, fishing, and floating the river. By far, her most favorite hobby was spending time with her great-grandchildren.
