Barbara Ann Clumfoot, 72, of Long Beach, California passed away Sunday, February 15, 2026. She was born May 28, 1953. Barbara spent her early life in Long Beach before moving to Crestview, Florida with her mother, Sally. Sally told her there was a young lady she thought Barbara would have a lot in common with named Marilyn Adams. Barbara came to Crestview and never looked back. Her and Marilyn became lifelong best friends. Their relationship would endure many adventures, good times, and hard times, but through it all their friendship never wavered.
Barbara was a very funny lady and would keep you laughing all the time. The one thing about Barbara is that she loved to party and live life to its fullest. She was a very loyal friend and had very loyal friends. She had a good life, and she was very much loved. She will be greatly missed.
Barbara is preceded in death by her parents, Sarah Louise Dunbar Patterson (Sally) and J.D. Patterson; her family member and lifelong best friend, Marilyn Louise Frederick Adams; and family member, Patty Ulrich.
She is survived by her sister, Lauri Patterson; her brother, Lynn Howard Patterson (Duffy), and wife, Michelle Patterson; family members Mark Frederick, Martin Frederick, Waymon Frederick, Wendy Ulrich, Crystal Ulrich, and Sissy Ulrich; special friends, Jeff Bingham, Brenda Taylor, Lynn Boone, Debbie Smith, Dawna O’Brien, and Gail Simmons.
