About Barbara Jean DUREN

My parents where: George Russell BEEBE & Ruby E. LARSON Beebe. Had 1 sister, Ruby BEEBE Eveatt & 1 brother still living. Married in 1973 & have 2 daughter's from that union & helped raise 2 boy's, (all 4 grown). Got divorced in 1997. Blessed with 5 grandsons & 1 granddaughter. Was born in Kansas City, Jackson County, MO., but currently live in Harrisonville, Cass County, MO. Lived in the city most of my life, however, spent several yrs., out in the (boonies some would say), growing up & then again while raising our children. Wanted children to know difference between cow's, goat's & deer's. Go ahead lol!! (Some have shot farmer's cow's & goat's thinking they were deer's). Felt they needed to know where & how fruits & vegetables grew. Liked living out in sticks got peace & quiet! Enjoyed taking care of tame & wild animals. Children liked bringing wild critter's of all sorts just to see if, I could mend them & send them on their way.

Graduated, from Raytown North High School in 1970. Previously, worked at Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, Midland Finance Company, Russell Stover's Candy, (as a Admin. Sec.); next at MO Housing Development Commission, (as Receptionist, & Legal Sec. Didn't go too college until children were all in High School. Worked part-time in accounting while, attending Hamilton Business College in Independence, Jackson, MO.; for a 3 year degree as a Medical Administrative Assistant & graduated in 1987. Finally, went into the medical field working with 3 Opthamologists (Eye Specialists), & 2 Optomitrists. Loved every minute of it and still miss working in the medical field.

Currently retired, trying to enjoy life doing Genealogy, Crocheting, Reading, Variety Puzzles & helping others when I can. Love to travel, but don't have a car anymore. Oh, yes! {Like playing all types Majhong on the internet: (Games Games.com) is a fantastic site for, all kinds of free browser games.} Best of all I love being with my grandchildren when I can. Can do okay on internet, but still don't handle email very well yet, & just jumped onto Facebook about a week earlier. So please, try to be patient with my blunders.

Have 1 white - Bichon Frise Poodle (BabBam) who makes me laugh daily & helps keep me young at heart. He died about 2015-2016. FYI, UPDATED BY JENNIE DUREN (DAUGHTER 7-31-2019): My mother died as of May 5th 2019. I have not been able to figure out how to add the death date on to my login onto Geni.com.
