Barbara Ann (Hatley) Dittrich

Barbara Ann Dittrich age 79, of Clifton, passed away unexpectedly on May 22, 2020 at her residence in Clifton. Barbara was born the first child to Joe and Leaha Hatley December 8, 1940 in Brownfield Texas. She passed into her final and eternal destination after a long struggle against the effects of radiation treatments that conquered cancer but left her debilitating health problems for the next 25 years.

Barbara had a great work career. She was the regional purchasing manager for the Amerada Hess Corp., Western Production Region, Seminole, Texas. She loved her job and always went "by the book" much to the delight of upper management and to the chagrin of the engineering and production staff.

Barbara is survived by her husband Ovie Dittrich of Clifton.
