   Barbara Dean became a blessing to this world on August 13, 1951 in Beaumont, Texas. The daughter of Emmett Cook and Celia Cook, she burst on the scene in the #3 spot with two more siblings following later.
   
   The family moved to Bremerton, WA and then to Seattle when she was 3 and they united with Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church. Goodwill was then located at 1445 So. Main St.
   
   In 1958 Barbara excepted Christ and was baptized at Mt. Baker Baptist Church (Goodwill did not have a baptismal pool). She immediately joined the Jr. Usher Board and began her ministry work.
   ...
   Barbara continued her Usher Ministry at Trinity. She also completed her schooling in Oxnard.
   
   In 1970 she moved back to Seattle and reunited with Goodwill. She immediately joined the Young Adult Choir and ministered in song.
   
   The sunny skies of California beckoned again after Seattle experienced a snowy winter, so Barbara packed her bags and sun glasses and headed to Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles she joined the Job Corps and pursued an LVN degree.
   
   In 1975 she returned to Seattle but her heavy work schedule prevented her from attending church on a regular basis. Barbara knew that God had something for her to do, so she made her way back to church and joined Usher Board #3 and became a member of the Nurses Corp., where she is still serving faithfully.
   
   Barbara is blessed with 2 sons and 3 grandchildren. Her favorite scripture is Psalm 27.
