What can we say about Barbara. She was the most generous, kind, faithful Christian woman I've ever known. She was full of life and was always doing things for other people. She worked tirelessly for Samaritan's Purse having people to help fill those boxes. She will be sorely missed not only by those people of Samaritan's Purse but by all who have known her and have been touched by her especially Ruth and Anna. Let's also remember her husband Dave in our prayers. Look forward to seeing her when our time comes.

Barbara was a genuine, caring & generous Christian. She introduced many of us to the Samaritan's Purse Ministry. Our group traveled often to ME to shop in bulk for shoe boxes to send overseas. I would invite anyone who loved Barbara to join me in making a financial donation to this fine ministry in her loving memory. I look forward to our heavenly reunion. Let us also remember her husband David in our prayers.
