Barbara E. Hughes

I met Barbara in the spring of 2010 when we were both getting chiropractic treatment at the same place. Our conversations led to a unique friendship that we believe was the work of Devine Intervention. We talked about her illness and decided to stay in touch. I wrote to her every week and she phoned me every 7 to 10 days until she could no longer speak. The last time we spoke was December 3rd, 2011. When Barbara enters your life it is changed forever. My thoughts and prayers go to her...

We will all miss Barb beyond belief........she was one of a kind. Her traveling, exploring friends... adventurous people...always amazed me...I loved hearing their stories. Her inspiration was a blessing to my life. Truly an amazing woman.

My thoughts and prayers are with Barb's family and friends. What an amazing lady! I was always in awe when I'd hear of her adventures....a fearless traveler with a beautiful heart.

Barbara was a very special friend, her compassion,kindness and caring for others was uncompromising. It was an honor to have had her in my life, she was loved by many and will be missed.

Barbara was a wonderful lady to be around. She was always an inspiration for me.

I first witnessed her indomitable spirit playing tennis with her in the (yikes) 70's. She threw herself into the matches, all the while she never let on that she did this with crushing back pain. This memory is Classic Barb.

Barb Hughes was admired by many for the decisive, yet compassionate leader that she was. Barb was responsible for recognizing Barb Johnson's confusion on her last visit to cabin service and calmly taking her into another room to talk quietly, giving managers and co-workers a chance to set up an exit strategy that got Barb Johnson on the road to recovery! She faced life with exuberance and courage...an example to us all. It was always a pleasure to fly with Barb during my almost 39 years...

I have no words that can express my sorrow. She has been a major influence on my life. Our travels were amazing and I now have memories that flood my mind day and night.
Barbara I love you, you were not suppose to leave so soon. Our bucket list was not finished.
But you are on the best adventure and one well deserved.
