She was then married to Ronald Mack in 1959. During Ronald's time in the US Army, he served in Korea. While Ronald was serving overseas, Barbara worked for GC Murphy for 4 years in Washington, DC.

He was serving active duty in the US Army. Barbara and Van were married in 1960, and moved to Reno, Nevada. Barbara was reunited with her best friend from childhood, Shirley. In 1962, Van SR and Barbara had a son, named Van Jordon, JR. and they later divorced in 1964. Barbara liked Reno so she chose to stay there. In 1973, she met William Capps. They moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, then to Durham, North Carolina. William passed away in 2008. Barbara loved the West and the adventures it provided. She also loved Rodeo's and anything to do with the outdoors. She was an animal lover, and very quick to pull out the camera. Barbara will truly be missed by all.
