Barb was very smart, she was fun to work with, creative, and a hard worker. She talked about her kids often and would show me their their latest pictures - it was obvious how much she loved them. I also remember her telling me that she would take them for rides in her car to entertain them when they were young. My Mom and Dad also did that, and those are very precious memories for me, as I'm sure they are for Barb's kids. My prayers and deepest sincere sympathy go to her loved ones. Jan Watkins

Barb was wicked smart and wicked funny. She was strong and loyal. I miss her.

My deepest sympathy is with the Barker Family. May the love of family and friends as well as the words at 1 Thessalonians 4:14 and Psalm 9:9 help you get through this most difficult time.
