Arrangements are with Hasemann Funeral Home of Wayne.
Barvetta was born Dec. 1, 1934, the first of three children to Vernon and Lola (Chase) Goodsell, in Belden. She and her husband, Howard, owned and operated H. McLain Oil Co. for 25 years in Carroll. In addition she and Howard collected, restored and sold vintage wooden windmills up until their retirement. They moved to Wayne in late 2009. Barvetta enjoyed the simple things in life…..pencil coloring pictures, watching Hallmark Channel movies and celebrating the fun of Halloween. We all have wonderful memories of her playing the piano for church services for a number of years, and especially sharing in her passion for antiques and creative relics, which she liked to refer to as “junking.”
Survivors include her children, Sandra Kay (Bryan) Park of Carroll, Charles McLain of Wayne, and Sharon McLain of Wayne; one grandchild, Preston McLain; and great-granddaughter, Lola; her brother, Dayton and wife, Jeannie of Cardiff, California; sister-in-law, Judy Goodsell of Bloomington, Illinois, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Howard, in January 2014, and brother, Neil in September 2020.
