of Maumelle, AR
April 19, 1955 - October 5, 2025
Barbara Marguerite McClintock of Maumelle, Arkansas passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Alexandria, Virginia on April 19, 1955 to William and Barbara McClintock.
Barbara is survived by her children, Vanessa (John) of Florida, Jennifer (Mark) of Arkansas and Matthew (Lindsey) of Arkansas; her cherished grandchildren, Luke, Mackenzie, Millie and Hazel; her sister, Beth Green of South Carolina; brothers, Dr. William McClintock (Christy) of Virginia and Michael McClintock of Colorado; as well as several nieces, nephews and friends who were like family. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Patricia Schneeman of Virginia.
Barbara's life was defined by her deep love for family, faith and animals. She found great joy in rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need and her beloved dogs, Tequila and Lexi, were constant companions. She also delighted in quilting, crafting and traveling, with one of her favorite experiences being the chance to swim with dolphins. She was known for her quick wit, her sweet tooth, passed down from her father and her playful habit of breaking into song during everyday conversations. She was a devoted Christian whose gentle spirit and compassion touched all who knew her.
The family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude to Conway Regional Hospital ICU and Baptist Health Extended Care for the compassion and care shown during the past month.
In keeping with Barbara's wishes, no formal funeral or memorial service will be held. A private family gathering will take place at a later date to celebrate her life and legacy.
Barbara's memory will forever live on in the hearts of her loved ones, as they take comfort in knowing she is now whole and at peace with her Savior.
What a gift it was having Ain’t Barbie in our lives. I can’t wait to see you again.
Barb was such a sweet lady. When we met it was as if we'd known each other for years. The world has lost a good one. Prayers for peace and comfort for the family.
Jennifer,
I loved playing Bunco with your mother. She was always so sweet and kind. I am going to miss her seeing her smiling face and sweet sprit. Praying for you and your family.
Love, Lisa Blackburn
We will all miss her so much. My love to all her family.
Vanessa, Jennifer and Matt. I am so fortunate to have been part of your lives. Your mom means the world to me. The time spent with her and the three of you are cherished memories. Oh the laughs ! I’m asking God to wrap his loving arms around all of you and bring you peace. You are the best children in the world and your mom could not have been more proud . I love you
The world's a little darker without your light in it aunt Barbie. Ill see you again in heaven God bless you on your journey. I love you bunches and bunches
Jennifer, Vanessa and Matt, your mother was such a lovely lady. She was so proud of all you and your families. I never heard her say a cross word to anyone or about anyone. I first met Barb when Matt and Dax played soccer (early 90’s) on the Maumelle team and some of those other team parents were not nice. She would just sit there and smile. I got to really know her when Jennifer married Mark and for several years we’ve played in the same Bunko group. She was always a pleasure. Rest in peace, my friend.
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Please except our condolences and prayers.
My prayers go out to all to all her children and their families. I will always have wonderful memories of "Barb" and the times together with family.... will miss you "Mim"
So sorry to hear about Barb's passing. I worked with her when she was at Tier Technologies in Reston. She was truly a great person and I know she loved animals as she watched my 2 when I traveled!
We also did an Avon Walk For Breast Cancer back in '04/'05 when she told me hers was back. I'm so glad she went on to enjoy many more years with her family. I know she loved her kids a lot as she spoke of them quite a bit!
Rest in peace my friend as you deserve it. ❤️
I was so sorry to see that Barb had passed. We talked a few years ago on FB. We had several classes together at MVHS. We were both following that secretarial path of typing and shorthand. And, we were really close. I was sorry not to see her at our 50th Reunion. My sincere condolences to all of you. She was still so young.
We will always remember you with fond memories. From your classmate at Mount Vernon High School. Rest on peace dear Barbara.
Hi Jennifer! I’m very sorry to hear about your Mom. We both were animal lovers and enjoyed catching up on our pets every time we met. I’m very thankful that Barb knew her Savior, Jesus Christ, and that you know you will be with her again some day. I’ll be praying for you and the family. Love, Mariella
I will always remember Ms. Barbara’s kindness, wisdom and compassion. Prayers for the family.
My favorite memories of Barb are how she invited me to Thanksgiving when I was a teen and my parents were working weird hours, she shared tons of craft books with me, she came to see my new home and welcomed me to her home one Christmas after my divorce. She was a wonderful, kind woman and her love for animals made me like her even more. Plus, she raised 3 awesome kids. You will be missed Barb.
Ms. Barbara was such a kind, caring lady. She demonstrated her love for family and for her animals daily. She will be greatly missed. I'm sending all of you much love and keeping you in my prayers.
Barbie will be missed by all her family. She was a very lovely lady.
So sorry for your loss ! She was a precious lady ! Love and prayers for you all !!
I have enjoyed the time spent with Barb since our families merged. She was a sweet, kind, and gentle person. I know she will be missed by all that knew her.
