In Loving Memory
Janifer Bangert Barton, 65, a Weatherford resident since 1980. She was a joyful community servant who left
this earth peacefully, June 24, 2016, after a long illness. Jan’s legacy will live on in her children and grandchildren, who lovingly called her ‘Nana’. She had a great compassion for people in need and friends say she
impacted many lives through her acts of kindness and caring. She was a business owner for years and served
as a councilwoman for the City of Weatherford from May 2003 to May 2012. Her love for Weatherford
inspired her to serve on Weatherford’s Parks and Recreation Board, Transportation Advisory Board and the
Citizens Capital Advisory Committee. She also served as Parker County Republican Precinct Chair. Jan was
a vital part of Bush Legacy Republican Women of Weatherford, a member of Beta Sigma Pi of Weatherford,
and Board Member Weatherford ISD Education Foundation. Jan also had a great (sometimes loud) passion
for her Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs, as well as NASCAR. Jan was a dedicated Republican, who worked
tirelessly on many campaigns locally and across the nation. She traveled to Florida with the “Texas Strike
Force” for President George W. Bush. She later received an invitation to dinner at the White House with
the President and Laura Bush, it was one of many highlights in her life. Jan was often part of the “Welcome
Home” league for military personnel at D/FW airport. Jan was born in Coffeeville, KS to Garner (GW) and
Helen Jacobs Bangert and lived in Naperville, Il. She was preceded in death by her parents, and husband
Dan Barton. Survivors include daughter Michelle Breyne Hernandez, son Mathew Breyne, Step-Daughter
