Barbara Lynn Glick Mason

Barbara Lynn Glick Mason, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and step-great-grandmother, passed away May 28, 2025, at her home with her husband by her side after a two-year-long valiant battle with ALS.

Barbara was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 21, 1951, and adopted at birth by Harry and Ruth Glick. She grew up in Olympus Cove, attended Skyline High School, and studied art at the University of Utah.

Barbara met her future husband, Tim Mason, while attending the University of Utah. They married on December 28, 1972, in the Provo Temple. As a military spouse, she accompanied her husband on his many assignments in Texas, Alabama, Alaska, the Philippines, and California. Their son Travis was born in the Philippines, daughter Whitney was born in Texas, and daughter Ashlee was born in California. After their military experience, they returned home to Utah.

Barbara was a loving, fun, generous, deeply creative, and spiritual woman. Her creative talents were always in high demand whether they were for friends, church, or while serving as a commercial artist for different advertising agencies and magazines such as Alaska Magazine. Her greatest career creative achievements were experienced as a layout designer and art director for the ZCMI advertising department. That was her dream job. The fashion shows she produced for ZCMI at Kingsbury Hall, Midway, and other locations in the 90's were legendary.

Barbara was an active member of the LDS Church and served numerous church callings. She always wanted the best for her family and was a dedicated champion of her children's numerous pursuits - never missing a baseball game, dance recital, or gymnastics meet. She touched the lives of many people in her community, and they, along with her family, will sorely miss her kindness and infectious laugh.

Barbara loved to travel. She and Tim were able to travel to over forty countries. Among her favorites were China, Antarctica, and the southern African countries. She was fascinated by experiencing diverse cultures and customs.

Barbara was a gentle warrior during her sickness, never losing her dignity or sense of humor. She is survived by her husband Timothy, her son Travis Mason (and his wife Kristin Kooyman Mason), her daughters Whitney Mason Barney (and her husband Matthew Barney), Ashlee Mason (and her husband Jason Stock), and brothers Steve and Kenneth Glick.
