Aunt Barbara was a very humble lady who loved her family unconditional. Always laughing from the heart...she had such a gracious heart. Uncle Harold, you were blessed to have been married to her for so many years, and you two where a delightful team. Nancy, Judy, Peggy & Christy my heart goes out to you, as her daughters, you where her friends and you all enjoyed her so much. She adored all her grandchildren which loved being around her even in their teens. Aunt Barbara will be greatly missed by family and friends. God Bless All!
