Open Bible Ministries: AW3 Mariah Barton Memorial Page

This page is especially dedicated to the memory of

AW3 Mariah Ann Barton

"Fair Winds and Following Seas"

Mariah Barton, 21, of Northglenn, Colo., and a crew member of the USS Abraham Lincoln died May 26, 2002, at her brother's home in Silverdale, Washington. She was one of the Navy's few female search and rescue swimmers, specializing in anti-submarine warfare. Mariah fellowshipped with us and became a wonderful addition to our extended family while attending the navy school's command at Dam Neck, Virginia.

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

She was too young to die!

"Hey, everybody, I got my wings!"

Our extended family
"Mariah, that's MY chair! No, Eric, I'm sitting here!"

"How long do I have to hold this pose? Take the picture already!"
