Barbara was a gentle and caring person. I never saw her lose her temper or not be nice with everybody she worked with. No one ever had a reason to not like Barbara or say anything but nice things about her.

Barbara was a true, honest and loyal friend who could play a mean game of pinochle, cook a delicious meal, make you laugh with her quick wit, and treated everyone like family. She will remain in our hearts and memories forever. May she sleep with the angels in peace.
