Barbara Jane Brookman, aged 66, of Clovis, New Mexico, passed away on October 3, 2026, in Amarillo, Texas.

Barbara ("Barb") was an immensely kind person who was well loved by many. She loved animals and, at the time of her passing, had three cats she adored. When her children were young, it was easy to convince their mother to take in strays, and she continued this throughout her life. Barbara enjoyed local trips to outdoor venues, and her children have many fond memories of camping and going to the beach when they were young. Barb was also a good cook and made the best homemade pot pie. She really enjoyed reading Stephen King and was working on her own novel. Barb was resourceful and talented with DIY home projects, and one of her proudest projects was building the front porch at her and her husband’s Texas home.

Barb was born in San Diego, California on November 22, 1959, to her parents Lyle Thomas Brookman and Mary Ruth Anderson. Her family moved around somewhat when she was young, but they eventually returned to Flint, Michigan, where she and her immediate family lived for many years, and many of them still live in and around the Flint area.

Barb finished her education in Flint and, at 19, began serving in the Navy, where she was stationed in San Diego. During her service, she performed duties as a silver solder, which was very impressive for a woman at that time. She was honorably discharged in May 1980, just before the birth of her first child.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Thomas Alan Bailey of Clovis, New Mexico; her four children, Daniel Raschke (Chelsea) of Boise, Idaho, Erin Leigh Hager of Auckland, New Zealand, Lynn Ann Hager of Salem, and David James Miller (Briana) of Kitchener, Ontario; her two grandchildren, Noah and Kymberli Raschke; and her brother, Michael Brookman of Virginia. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lyle and Mary Brookman; her sisters, Carol Cobb and Sandra Lum; and her brother, Kerry Brookman.

Barb’s final wishes were to be cremated and her ashes to be scattered along the San Diego Bay. A burial at sea and celebration of life service will be organized for the summer of 2027.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lloyd and Billie Standridge; brother, Leslie Standridge; and his sister, Bonita Moyer.

Mike is survived by his daughters, Tiffany and her husband Cole Gorman, Breanna Standridge and her fiancé Richard Stone; grandson, Hagen; brothers, Jim Eastep and his wife Jean Kline, Sam Standridge and his wife Betty Standridge; sisters, Lani Griess and Kay Holland; and several nieces and nephews.

His daughters lovingly cared for their dad and made sure he was never alone. They were by his side during the last moments of his life. Mike was deeply loved by his family and will be greatly missed. His quiet nature, helping hands, and memories he made with those who loved him will not be forgotten.

My baby girl was, and will always be, a big part of my heart that is now missing. Jasmine will be deeply missed.
