Biography
Barbara
Nee
Mann
Donaghue
was
born
30
January
1951
in
England
to
Albert
Cyril
and
Betty
Mann
.
Barbara
grew
up
in
England
and
attended
several
different
churches
in her
youth
,
although
her
parents
were not
affiliated
with a
specific
church
.
Barbara
was
confirmed
into the
Methodist
Church
, but had also
attended
the
Church
of
England
with her
parents
for a
short
time
.
Barbara
felt
most
comfortable
with the
Methodists
so
she
attended
their
meetings
weekly
by
herself
when
she was
only
eleven
years
old
. Her
life
became
centered
on this
Church
.
When
Barbara
was
fifteen
years
old
, she
became
a
General
Post
Office
Telephonist
. She
went
to a
large
city
in
England
to be
trained
for her
new
occupation
. This was not the
best
working
environment
;
Barbara
began
smoking
and
said
she
started
hanging
out
with the
wrong
crowd
.
Barbara
began
dating
Peter
Anthony
Donaghue
and they
married
25
January
1969
in the
Catholic
Church
.
Barbara
and
Peter
had a
daughter
on
26
June
1969
and
another
daughter
born
14
March
1971
.
Peter
lost
his
job
so
they
took
their
family
and
emigrated
from
England
to
South
Africa
. They
lived
in
Sasolburg
for a
time
and
later
settled
in
New
Castle
.
After
a
spiritual
experience
Barbara
decided
she
needed
to
attend
church
, but
felt
that the
Catholic
and
Methodist
Churches
were not
right
.
Soon
after
this
LDS
missionaries
came
to her
door
.
After
convincing
her
husband
, she was
allowed
to
learn
about
their
message
. She had a
dream
that
helped
her
decide
to
join
the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
. She was
baptized
on
15
May
1975
. She
said
the
calling
that had
helped
her
most
was
being
Relief
Society
President
,
which
she
received
ten
months
after
she was
baptized
.
Barbara
continued
to be a
faithful
Latter-day
Saint
in
South
Africa
helping
to
build
a
foundation
of the
Church
in that
area
.
Abstract
<p>
MSS
SC
1106
: This
autobiography
was
written
in
1978
;
it
is
handwritten
legibly
and
is
ten
pages
in
length
.
Barbara
goes
into
detail
about
her
youth
,
mainly
describing
her
involvement
with the
Methodist
Church
. She
goes
on to
describe
when
she
started
making
some
bad
choices
in her
life
like
not
attending
church
,
smoking
, etc. She
said
she
became
numb
to what was
right
. Her
mother
did
not
worry
about
her
because
Barbara
had
always
been a
good
girl
.
Barbara
writes
briefly
of her
courtship
,
marriage
, and
children
. She
describes
when
she and her
husband
immigrated
to
South
Africa
. She
mentions
homesickness
, not for
England
, but for her
friends
in
another
part
of
South
Africa
.
Barbara
talks
about
an
experience
when
she, her
husband
, and
friends
were
seeing
the
countryside
and she
thought
,
God
made
this, and He
lives
. At that
point
she
decided
she
needed
to
go
back
to
church
. She had not
attended
church
in
seven
years
, and was
unsure
about
which
church
to
attend
.
Barbara
then
describes
her
conversion
story
. She
mentions
several
callings
she
held
in the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
and
mentions
her
patriarchal
blessing
. She
ends
with her
testimony
of the
gospel
with a
statement
saying
she
prays
her
husband
and
family
will
accept
the
gospel
.
