Not sure what to say?

Barbara was always so kind. We live in a home that her dad built. In 1978 we purchased it. Barbara came over and told us the story of the house and the neighborhood. She was a wonderful neighbor; sharing gardening tips and always so welcoming. Rest in peace my friend and neighbor. Sincerely Barbara and Joe Rose.

I loved her and our times together hiking...on adventures...years ago. What a role model she was and how she was loved and respected by so many. No one else would have traveled with me to Duxbury at 3 a.m. to view a meteor shower. She was my boss at the Girl Scouts and, from the moment I met her, I knew she was a goodie. My love to Patty, Carol, and to the grandchildren. Prayers for comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Barbara will always hold a special place in my heartRIPBarb , love Birte

Love you always Barbara, our Girl Scout leader and trail adventurer from early seventies and beyond!! Thank you Barbara for all your help with us during our growing years. Such a strong presence you were for us in our neighborhood. We will truly miss you❤ from the Jorgensen family, Nanna, Lola, Birte, Ron and Bente

Carol and Patty - Sarah Sears Rickey here - formerly of 396 Tremont Street. Lots of fond memories from when we played together as neighborhood friends - rollerskating in your basement, skating on the pond "out back" - Girl Scout meetings, playing with the Lewis' - oh so many years ago. So very sorry for your loss - your Mom was a wonderful woman. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sarah

Dear Patti, I am saddened to learn that your lovely mom has passed away. I knew her during the time she stepped out with my late father-in-law Bill and I have great memories of her. She was a gem and always treated me with love and respect.

Dear Patti and family, I am so sad to learn that your Mom has passed away. Reacquainting with you after so many years is a joy. I loved sitting on the porch at your Taunton home, chatting with her and you. Your time together was a blessing to you both.

I delivered meals to Barbara on Monday mornings. I so enjoyed seeing Barbara and talking to her and her daughter Patty. She was so well taken care of and loved. It was nice to see. May she rest with Our Lord and Savior.

Blessings,
Debby

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
