Mrs. Aguilar was born on February 23, 1961 in Ballinger to Joe and Otilia Gutierrez. She graduated from San Angelo Central High School and from Angelo State University with a bachelor's in business administration. She then married Manuel Aguilar on September 24, 1994 in San Angelo. Barbara worked at Ethicon for 42 years in production and as a lab technician. She retired in 2022. Barbara enjoyed making stadium blankets for her friends, making bead jewelry, going to rodeos and traveling. She was a supporter of local sports teams, having season tickets to Rams and Belles sporting events. One of the amazing qualities she had was the ability to cope with her illness without letting anyone know how much pain she had, especially over the last few months. Barbara was a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Mertzon and served as secretary for the parish council. She enjoyed eating lunch with Father Joseph, friends, and her family.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Manuel of the home; her three children, Deserae Gomez of Abilene, Daniela Aguilar, and Dylan Aguilar, both of San Angelo; five siblings, Julian Martinez of San Angelo, Larry Gutierrez of Round Rock, Joe Gutierrez, JoAnn Sevier of Corpus Christi, and Janie Rodriguez of San Angelo; and five grandchildren, Avian Gomez, Sonny Gomez, Lucas Gomez, Emalie Gomez, and Ray Gomez.
