TERRE HAUTE —
Barbara Loyd Petry, 86, of Terre Haute, died Wednesday, November 14, 2012 in Union Hospital. Bobby, as she was known by her friends, was born November 30, 1925 in Terre Haute to Otis Krise and Etta Azell Krise. She graduated from Wiley High School in 1945, and attended Indiana State University.

Barbara was a member of First Baptist Church and the Sycamore Country Club. She was a proud mother and grandmother.
