Barbara A. Manley

Barb was a class act. She touched so many people with her humor, warmth, and understanding. Her memory will live on forever. What a loss! I pray that her family finds comfort in knowing how wonderful Barb was to all who knew her.

I can't believe Barb is gone. She was a great person. I will miss her so much. I enjoyed working with her because she was a real person. She was so sweet and genuine, and so funny. We used to laugh about everything. God must've needed an Angel in heaven to have taken her at such a young age. Good bye Barb--you'll be missed more than you realize.

Barb was a beautiful person on the inside and out. She was taken way too soon. She had such a sense of humor, and she was kind to everyone. I will miss her cheery smile and infectious laughter. She was an angel on earth, and now an angel in heaven. My condolences to her family, whom she loved dearly. She spoke often about her mom, sister, brothers nieces and nephews. Barb was a great person, and will live in our hearts forever

I met Barb the first day she started work at CEI and we gradually became friends because we share a sarcastic sense of humor. Some of the most pleasant memories of the almost 20 years I spent there involved her; everybody I knew and respected liked Barb. After I left we stayed in touch by phone and emails, and got together for lunch a couple times a year. She was always enjoyable to be around, never seeming to be down about anything. I wish everybody could know somebody like Barb.

Barb loved life and lived it. The world is a poorer place for her passing.

I met Barb in 1993 when her former boss was transferred to my department. Through the years we had become good friends, sharing both laughter and tears. I will miss her sound advise and her quick wit. No matter how difficult a problem seemed, she could ultimately lighten the load by making you see the humorous side. My sympathy to her family and to all those that loved Barb. We have truly lost a beautiful soul.

It was an honor to work with someone of Barb's caliber. It was even more of an honor to become a good friend of hers. I will miss her sarcastic wit, her caring attitude and her laughter. Life at the office will not be the same. Throughout her ordeal, she carried herself with grace and much dignity. I respect her; I love her; and I will miss her very much. Fly with the angels and watch over us. God bless and keep the family.

Barb and I became great friends in the late 1980s. We socialized outside of work frequently for many years. She was a very private person and I feel very privileged to have become such close friends with her. I can't even say enough about her sense of humor. She was a very loyal friend who was always there for you. She was a trusted confidante and I always considered her to be one of my best friends. I miss you and love you, Barb. I'll cherish all our memories forever.

Barb was a hard worker, that will be sadly missed.
