Alvin Nelson Barber
Jul 11, 1960 - Jan 11, 2023
Posted by Martha Reddout
Watts Funeral Home
(permission granted)
Nelson began this life on July 11, 1960, in
Ardmore, OK the son of Wilford “Bill” and Billie (Gaither)
Couser. He married Cindy Ann Hauther on August 1, 1981, at the
Lake Murray Chapel. The two had celebrated more than 41 years
together.
Nelson was a carpenter by trade and worked on
countless residential and commercial projects throughout his
lifetime. He was very detail oriented and took great pride in
his work. This made him the “go-to” guy for those just getting
started in carpentry and for several friends, neighbors, and
family members that just needed some insight on how to get a
project done. Nelson could build just about anything out of what
others would consider a pile of scrap material. When he wasn’t
working or tinkering around with the cars, you would likely
catch Nelson watching an old John Wayne western or maybe
enjoying a little outdoor time hunting or fishing. Nelson was
like a father to many and will be remembered as a funny,
outspoken, sometimes stubborn man that loved nothing more than
spending time with his grandbabies and a special niece that he
loved like a daughter, Melany Barber Buckhanon.
Nelson was preceded in death by his parents and
by five brothers, Jerry Wilson, Jimmy Wilson, Don Wilson, Van
Barber, and Ricky Barber.
Those left to cherish his memory are
his wife, Cindy Barber of the home; his sons, Nicholas Barber
and wife Whittiny of Loves Valley, OK, Jake Barber and wife
Shannon of Shady Dale, OK, Jared Barber and wife Michelle of
Ardmore, OK, and Eric Wilson and wife Brandye of Weir, MS; his
grandchildren, Destiny, Mayce, Layla, Paige, Dyllan, Leah,
Peyton, Grayson, and Ellie Maye; his great-grandchildren, Aspen,
Madilyn, and Delanie; his brother, Tom Wilson of Marietta; a
sister, Sheila Greenwood and husband Ray of Shady Dale; and
numerous nieces and nephews.
Casket bearers are Nicholas Barber, Jake Barber,
Jared Barber, Eric Wilson, Dyllan Barber, and Kyle Pryor.
Honorary bearers are Dewayane Buckhanon, Chance Thompson, Nathan
Harrell, Bryan Featherston, Cody Minyard, Dillon Sampson, Jacob
Morgan, Jeremiah Cummins, Denver Pass, and Skylar Bumgarner.
The family requests that those wishing to make a
memorial contribution in memory of Nelson do so by contacting
the Flanagan-Watts Funeral Home for donation information.
