Mrs. Elam was born August 21, 1957 in Pecos, but later grew up in Brownfield, where her mother, Edrie and father, Marvin Vest raised her along with three other siblings. She was the baby of the family.

Barbara was one of the most kind-hearted people you would have ever met. She was funny, sassy, and honest. She would help anyone she could who was in need of anything. She was always there. She loved with her whole heart. There are just not enough words to describe how amazing she was. She loved her grandbabies so much. Laney Kay, Kiley, Jean and Bailey Reece were her whole world. She truly loved you all.
