To the family of Barbara Powell, I have known Barbara since 1960 when I first started working for the Va.Dep't of Agriculture, Barbara was working there as a Clerical employee where she continued to work until she retired. Barbara was a good employee and well thought of by her co-workers. Barbara was a good lady and she did the best as she could during her illness. The Lord will be with her and she will reside in Heaven. This is to express my sorrow to her family.
