Not sure what to say?

Barbara is one lady never to be forgotten. She was always so sweet and thinking of others. After all these years, I remember looking forward to seeing her. She and her husband were the perfect parents at school functions. We were all lucky that she was in our lives. God bless her & her family.

Barbara worked at the voter polls many years with my father, George Burt. When he passed away, I was welcomed into their group and had the pleasure of meeting Barbara. She sat next to me filling my head with funny stories about her family and her cats. Sometimes, I would set out to read in-between voters, and Barbara would start a story that I couldnt resist listening to...and the book was history. LOL! We shared a love of jewelry. She loved to show me her latest acquisition as much as I...

I remember sharing strawberries with Barbara at Bowl. She was so great to volunteer with at LRS meetings and events.

Barbara and I were Tupperware together in the late 60's and early 70's! She was my "Rock"! She showed me and so many dealers how to do so many things that we will never forget. Mine is Angelfood Strawberry Cake.

Barbara, Joe, my husband Rick and I had so many good times together and we will never the forget the fun our families shared.

God Bless the family and their families at this time of loss. We will always love Barbara!

Barbara was the mother of a dear friend of mine, Donna. Barbara and Donna would often come to Las Vegas and we spent so many wonderful hours together… mostly eating. I never knew anyone that lived life as full as Barbara. She had so much energy and an incredible thirst for knowledge, and loved to participate in varied and interesting experiences. I miss her sweet face, her kindness, and her caramel popcorn. Condolences to the family in this great loss.

She was such fun to be around. Always smiling and happy. I will miss her at LRS.

Condolences to Barbara's family in the loss of their Mom and a special Tupperware friend. I will always remember Barbara wearing her the Pink Panther costume on Halloween, and her demonstration of her "Ribbon Jello". She was so creative; she will be missed.

Condolences to Barbara's family in the loss of their dear mother. It was sad to see her name in the obits as it brought back memories of Lomita School days when she always was a thoughtful and caring parent to her children and their classrooms. After so many years since Rodney and Kathy were in my classes, I still have happy memories of her. May she rest in peace. God bless the family in their loss and grant them strength to get through these difficult days.

Barbara was a neighbor and would always walk passed our home and talk to our cat, Betty. She was always the smiling face that greeted voters at the polls. I really missed her at our November election and wondered where she was. She will truly be missed.
