Barbie moved to Pahrump in 2016 after selling her ranch in Ojai, California where she lived with her husband Robert Watson until his death on June 20, 2010.
Barbie is survived by her sister Joanne Williams of Las Vegas and Brother William Beckman from Delaware. Aunt Barbie will also be missed by her nieces Kathy Cox, Judy Navarrete, and Kristi Barr and their families from Las Vegas, along with her nephew Mark Beckman; and nieces Theresa and Linda Beckman, all living on the east coast.
Barbie adored her Yorkies many champions in competition and had a passion for horses from the time she was a little girl, when her dad bought her first horse that grazed in their backyard. She and her soulmate Bob bred, raised, and showed Appaloosa horses at Crown Hill Farms for years in California.
Barbie, above all else was a devout Christian who loved and will be forever missed by her family at Calvary Chapel of the Ojai Valley.
