Patrick Floyd Shelby Barnett was born on March 17, 1934 in Woodward, Oklahoma to Floyd Edwin and Lucille (Henley) Barnett.  He spent two years at Carter High School, but came back to graduate from Woodward High School in 1953.  There he met an angel, Ethlyn Fisher and they were married in Woodward on February 5, 1954 at the First Assembly of God Church.  They lived in Woodward for many years, then moved to Perryton, Texas for one year.  They came back to Woodward, finally moving to Enid nine years ago.  Pat worked many jobs, but finally found his calling as a salesman.  He spent many years at Trego’s, Southwestern Stationary and Bank Supply and owned Barnett Office Supply before moving to Enid.  He also managed SPC Office Products in Woodward for several years.

Pat’s most enjoyment in life was singing for others at church, weddings, and funerals and taking his kids and grandkids to the lake on his pontoon boat, the USS Popie.
