Barbara Louise Davies, 74, passed away on Thursday, December 4, 2025, in St. Louis, MO.
She was born in Decatur, IL, on February 2, 1951, to the late Richard Stanley West and Doris Lorraine Murray West.
Barbara worked for most of her life as a bartender, though she also tried her hand at management from time to time.

More than anything, she loved to spend time with her grandkids. Her family will remember her for her quiet presence and observant tendencies, which they will miss dearly.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by: husband, Winfred Davies; son, Clifford Ray Howard III; daughter, Crystal Leann Payne; sisters, Debbie Brennan and Patty Young; and cherished pet, Puppy.
Those surviving include: sons, Mike West and Trinity Lee Payne; sisters, Nancy Cummins, Judith Payne, Tina Jones, and Brenna Morgan; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
