Ant Bee, as I called her. She had a big, big personality, just like her sister, my Nana Ceil (z"l). Ant B was a nice lady, I thought. Even tho we had differing opinons, I wish I could have known her as an adult. I would have loved to hear family stories that I know she was the keeper of.
If you are family, please friend me on facebook.

How we will miss Aunt Barbara! One of the finest ladies I ever met. From the paternal side of my family, she always treated me with the most love and kindness, never forgetting me. I remember one of her generous gifts when I was a small child. The beautiful Japanese dolls with intricately designed kimonos formed my life long appreciation of Asian culture and design. We look forward to seeing her again in the resurrection of Jehovah's faithful servants.

Barbara used to call me her teddy bear. Even tho we lost touch she has always been in my heart. Love and prayers to her family.

I am really going to miss my Aunt Barbara. I will always remember her as one with a great sense of humor. My 3 daughters always enjoyed family reunions especially when Aunt Barbara was there because they knew she always brought laughter and fun. As a young child I remember watching the way my Uncle Bill always thought of her and treated her with such care and thoughtfulness. I learned from them how a man should treat a woman. I will truely miss you Aunt Barbara. Family reunions will never be the same.

We will miss Barb very much!! She loved my dad like no other and he worshiped the ground she walked on. She helped dad "rescue" us kids from a dire situation, when we were teens and helped us move into adulthood unscathed. She also said some very special, meaningful words to me, that helped pave the way to my happy adult life. I thank Jehovah God, that I heeded those words and am the person I am today. I look forward to seeing her again in Jehovah's PROMISED new world, after her resurrection. Until then, she gets to rest in God's memory!
