Born March 2, 1925 in Claremore, Oklahoma to Wesley Alfonso and Reatha Minnie (Fultz) Barnes, Albert attended schools in Claremore. Following his schooling, he enlisted with the Army Air Corps and proudly served his country during WWII. Albert returned to Claremore after his service duties ended and married Mary Zula Rose on March 31, 1947. The couple made many places home through the years, settling in Peotone, Illinois. When Albert retired he and Mary moved back to Claremore and this has been home since.

Albert loved being outdoors and loved spending time hunting and fishing. He enjoyed being around his family at every opportunity. His vegetable garden was always big and bountiful each year, producing enough to share. Albert also loved to dance and was quite good.

Daniel and husband Phil of Texas and Shari A Woods and husband Johnny also of Claremore; his grandchildren Allen Barnes, Leon Barnes, Michael Goner, Raymond Goner, Lisa Banks, Scott Rueb, Shannon Bowen and Mistie Brown; 29 great grandchildren and 13 great great grandchildren; his brothers Robert Barnes and Ray Barnes and his sister Gloria Fern.
