Just to think of Barbara brings smiles and very fond memories from my childhood.
My Dad, John Huffman, worked for the Gems with Barb for eight years. My Mom, Marian, would at times work with Barb in the front office.
They created an atmosphere that included the families of players, fans and their own families.
Barb gave me an endless gift of wonderful memories.
My deepest sympathy Lisa and Doug

I met Barbara when I was nine years old. She was my dad´s (Lefty McFadden) secretary. What an asset she to the Gems front office well as to our family. She was always so kind, generous, funny and professional. We will never forget what a friend she was to all of us and she will be missed.

My condolences to all of you who are mourning the loss of your mother, your friend and confidant. Her humor, generosity, support, and unwavering friendship to many was unheralded. Barb was a GEM and I am grateful to have been her friend! Respectively, Karmen Vradelis
