Barbara "Barbie" Spaeth

Barbara Marilyn Moonan Spaeth, “Barbie”, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2020. Barbie was born to James and Elizabeth Moonan on January 29, 1932 in Trenton, NJ. She graduated with a degree in Psychology from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA. Deferring her career, her ministry and calling was raising her family of 6 children. Empty-nesting was not a time for Barbie to relax and take it easy, so she earned her Broker’s License and began a thriving career in real estate. She eventually had her own real estate management company. Anyone who knew Barbie saw her light and felt her smile. The instant they met her, they recognized they were in the presence of a joy-filled, faith-filled, love-filled individual. She was “someone after God’s own heart.” She has been a daily mass attendant all her life and was a member of Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Community since 1981. Barbie was selling real estate even until her final days. Her passion for the Lord and love for her children and grandchildren were the only things that topped her devotion to the Houston Texans. Up until COVID, she had been doing Aerobic Dancing longer than anyone else in Harris County (since 1978). Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday because it was the best time with family. She and her husband, AP, began the tradition of spending the holiday in Galveston. It became a time lasting memories were made, year-after year. She is preceded in death by her parents, step-mother Doris Moonan, husband Anton (Tony/AP) Spaeth and son Craig, brothers James and Robert Moonan. She is survived by her sons: Anton (Tony) Spaeth, Jr. and his wife Amy, Mark Spaeth and his wife Amanda, Carl Spaeth, Dana Spaeth and his wife Kris as well as her daughter Stacy Spaeth and daughters-in-law Nancy Carey and Becky Monning. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Jennifer Pattison and her husband Nick, Amber Michael and her husband Kevin, Anton (TJ) Spaeth III, Mark Spaeth, David Spaeth, Rachel Spaeth, Kristen (Coady) Spaeth, Daniel Spaeth, Cassidy Spaeth and Craig Spaeth and great-grandchildren: Oliver Michael, William Pattison and Rowan Michael, as well as her sister Elizabeth Tome and brother Bill Braun, numerous nieces, nephews, brothers & sisters-in-law and countless friends.
