BARBARA BARTH

My memories of Barbara, goes so far back in my childhood, she was a ray of light that easily draws you in. I remember attending symphonies with her and my father Don Joseph, as well as going to cut down Christmas trees. Her home was always so warm during the holidays.
Since moving away, I still would run into her at Cecil & Lime. It was always so nice to see her smiling face. I will miss her so.
So sorry for your loss..

An amazing light in our world. A life well lived. May love be with her, her family and friends.

Barbara was such a joyful spirit! My favorite memory of her is her excitement at finding out that I made bread and butter pickles and her effusive appreciation when I shared some jars with her. I will miss seeing her at the Farmers' Market and all the other places around town. She was a great supporter of the Springfield Civic Theatre in addition to the other arts organizations in town.

I Will miss Her greatly discussing books going to the symphony her always positive attitude

Barbara was a down-to-earth lady who made everyone she met feel like a true friend. I looked forward to seeing and chatting with her at the Springfield Summer Arts Festival. When I was still able to usher at the Performing Arts Center, she was always a wonderful person to get a glimpse of in the audience.

Springfield will not be the same without seeing your Mom around town. A wonderful life lived. Hugs!!
