Barbara 'Scottie' Stricker
July 31, 1938 — December 30, 2021
Barbara 'Scottie' Stricker, 83, of Amarillo, passed away on Thursday, December 30, 2021. Services will be at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at Brooks Chapel with Loran Harper of Comanche Trail Church of Christ officiating. Burial will follow in Dreamland Cemetery.
Barbara was born on July 31, 1938 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Harold and Mary Warmuth Scott. She graduated from high school in 1956. After growing up in a military family, Barbara decided to serve as well. She enlisted in the Army and served in the Women's Army Corp in 1957. While in the Army, she met her husband, Floyd Eugene Stricker. They later married in 1966. Barbara began working as a histologist at St. Anthony's Hospital, and later in her career, spent over twenty years working at Northwest Texas Hospital.
She attended Hillside Christian Church in Amarillo. Barbara loved gardening and working in her yard. Throughout her life in Amarillo, the garden exemplified her determination, kindness, and appreciation for living things. She thoroughly enjoyed the birds in her yard and adored animals of all kinds; everything was welcome in her back yard. All animals gravitated toward her, and she lovingly said there was always room for one more.
Barbara was an avid reader and especially enjoyed a good mystery. She was known for her good-spirited orneriness and generosity. Barbara gave often to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and animal rescue shelters. Her family will miss gathering with her in the living room of the home she'd lived in for fifty-five years.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two brothers, Harold Scott, Jr. and Thomas Scott, and her brother-in-law, Gaylord Mons Twite. She is survived in death by her two daughters, Diane Hinds and husband Robert, and Heidi Hicks and husband Wes; sister, Mary Kathryn Twite; and two granddaughters, Emily and Erin Hinds.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center in Amarillo and Baptist St. Anthony's Hospice of the Southwest for their loving care.
In memory of Barbara's life and spirit, the family suggests memorials be sent to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis TN 38105 or by adopting a homeless pet. That would make her truly happy.
