Barbara Obele

I became acquainted with Barbara through Soroptimist International of Richmond when she joined the club in 1984. Barbara made a huge contribution of time and talent, energy and hard work for the club and through the Richmond Chamber of Commerce to the City of Richmond and beyond. As many have said, Barb will be remembered for her huge smile and warm hugs. I can't remember a time when she wasn't pleasant and cheerful. She will be greatly missed by so many. I was so pleased to attend her...

My sister Barb was my second mother and she will be greatly missed by all of her siblings. I am so happy to have so many wonderful memories with Barb throughout the years and every time I look out into my yard and see the many yellow day lilies that she transplanted here in Red Bluff from her yard in Rodeo I will always think of her, her green thumb, and her beautiful smile! I know her husband, her children/spouses, and grandchildren will carry her with them forever. If only all of us can...

I knew Barbara through our association as Soroptimists. I can never remember her without a smile on her face and a willingness to help out. She was a great asset to Soroptimist International of Richmond and will be dearly missed.

Barb will be missed by her family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

Barb leaves a giant hole to fill in our lives. I just can't describe how losing her affects me. She was the Best and the Nicest person I have had the pleasure to be related to or know. But, she can have "lunch" again with Lorell! I think she really missed that.

Barb was one of the amartest women I knew. I could ask her anything about anything and she just knew. She was a good friend and gave the best hugs. She will be missed. There was an opening for an angel in heaven and it had her name on it. RIP Barb.
