Barrie was my sisters, Beth and Barbara, every Thursday evening babysitter. More than that she was our right next door neighbor in Rocky River. The intelligence of her father, in charge of the Westinghouse Engineers east of the Mississippi and the loving care of her mother a Registered Nurse in charge of the nurses in the department at Lakewood Hospital now part of Cleveland Clinic, combined in a wonderful way. As next door neighbors her wedding to Ron was the first one we children had been invited to. I still have the boxed piece of cake each person was given.
See you in the eternities.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. I grew up with Barrie in Lakewood Ohio and remember her with fond memories. We had so much fun in her sand-box when we were youngsters. Jodie Mulligan Hogan

I'm so sorry for your loss. I taught with Barbara at the Lear School back in the late 80's. She was my son's Sr. kindergarten teacher there, and a sweet, caring lady.

My condolences to Barbara's family. We had hoped that she would be here to help our class celebrate our 50th Rocky River High reunion. Her name will be added to the memorial section of our website and I know that many classmates will post their thoughts and memories. Sharon O'Grady Pfaff
