Barbara would light up the room with her smile, warmth and passion to have fun no matter where she was. She was always full of positive energy and love. Barbara was a joy to be around. I was very fortunate to have known her all of my life. Barbara will be greatly missed! May Barbara Rest In Peace. Love, Angie

Barbara was able to tell you the words to most any song. She would break out in song at any time (even if no one wanted her to). She could play "The Saints Come Rolling In" on the piano (and did a great job, sometimes). She loved to dance and was very fortunate to meet her loving husband Glenn at dance lessons. They danced so well together. She will be missed. RIP Barb, love Marta
