Barbara K. Duff of Hawk Point passed peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, Nov. 27, 2021.  She was 76.  Barbara was born March 1, 1945 to George and Margaret Kathleen (Shocklee) Roberts of Silex.  She attended Ursuline Academy in St. Louis, a private Catholic preparatory school, graduating in 1963.  Barbara was united in marriage to Clayton Duff of Hawk Point on June 25, 1966.  The couple had two sons: Eric and Gregory.

Barb was a devoted wife, mother and grandparent.  Those around her life knew family and baseball were her biggest passions.  She was active in the Hawk Point Khoury League for numerous years and was known to be an avid fan of St. Louis Cardinals.  She remained actively involved in the lives of her kids and grandkids, including The Boy Scouts with her sons and being a vocal cheerleader at the rodeo arena for her grandkids.

Faith was important to Barb, evidenced by the fact that she and Clayton were long-standing members of St. Mary's Catholic Church of Hawk Point.  She was a teacher and speech therapist, serving children for many years as part of the Lincoln County R-III School District's Special Education programs.  In her spare time, Barb enjoyed birds in her garden.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Clayton; her children: Eric Duff (Tammy) of Hawk Point,  and Gregory Duff (Elaine) of Hawk Point; her grandchildren: Branden Duff (Kayla) and Cierra Duff; sisters: Marilyn Wheaten Duffy (Paul), Gloria Moody (Conrad) and Mary Kay Roberts.  Also surviving are many cousins, family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Kathleen Roberts; and her brother, Robbie Roberts.

The memorial service, conducted by the family, is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 4 at 10a.m. at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Hawk Point,.  According to her wishes, following the church service, doughnuts will be served at a short Celebration of Life in the church hall.
