Barbara was born January 13, 1941 in Fort Worth, Texas to William C. and Mary Schutts, Jr. She earned a B.A. degree from Loretto Heights College in Denver, Colorado where she taught in the Denver Public School System briefly before pursuing her passion of computer programming. She earned an M.B.A. degree from West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas and worked for twenty years at Western Data/Systematics, Inc. until her retirement as the Director of Programming. She enjoyed the challenge of writing computer code at a time when few women were encouraged to work in the field, and she lead a team in programming the very first ATM machine located in Amarillo for First National Bank of Amarillo.

Barbara was a strong supporter of education and community service. She volunteered in the Amarillo ISD HOSTS program for several years and was also a past member of the Junior League of Amarillo. She loved animals and supported many animal welfare causes locally and nationally.
