Wanda Barrick-Towell, age 71, of Oklahoma City, formerly of Duncan, went to be with her Lord on January 6, 2008, after a long-time battle with breast cancer.  Wanda was born to Lonnie and Ozella Stevens March 13, 1936, in Countyline, Oklahoma, and moved to Duncan as a child.   

            A memorial graveside service will be at 1:00 P.M. Friday, January 11, 2008, at the Duncan Cemetery, with Rev. Ron Meador officiating.  Arrangements are by Anderson-Burris Funeral Home of Enid. 

She was preceded in death by her father Lonnie and mother Ozella, both of Duncan, her brother T.L. “Steve” Stevens, sister Loretta Mitchell of Longview, TX, and an infant daughter in 1968.  Wanda buried husbands Billy Joe Barrick in 1985 and Jimmy Lee Towell late in 2006.  She leaves behind two daughters, Pamela R. Cochran of Yukon, and Debbie Mitchell of Duncan; two sons, Billy Barrick of Oklahoma City, and Rev. Dan Barrick of Enid.  Also eight grandchildren, Brandi McMillen, Dax Ledet, Michael and Jason Greenroyd, BJ, Kalyn and Laura Barrick, and Angela Mitchell; and eight great-grandchildren.

            The family will greatly miss her.  Wanda leaves many family members and friends in the Duncan area.  She was a true woman of faith and a great example to her family and all who knew her.
