Barbara Ayala was born in Lisbon, ND to Floyd & Vernie Sanderson. After receiving her teaching degree in North Dakota, she taught in elementary schools in North Dakota, Rawlins, Wyoming and in McMinnville.
She married Peter Ayala on July 7, 1955. They resided in Rawlins until June, 1967 when they moved to McMinnville, Oregon. They had 3 daughters: Carolyn (Ken) Fritts, Susan (Mike) Morch and Janet (Dean) Ayala-Simmons. They are also survived by 9 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Peter died on October 12, 2004.
At her request, there will be no public services. Barbara was a life-long reader and in lieu of flowers, the family would suggest a donation to purchase a book in her memory to the McMinnville Public Library.
