Not sure what to say?

Andrea, Janell and family,
I had the pleasure of working with Barbara at State Farm Insurance for many years. She was a great co-worker and an even better friend. She was always so kind, helpful and quick to laugh. We have stayed in touch over the years and every time I spoke to her it warmed my heart. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her.
With my sincere condolences,
Pat Jasinski

So sorry. Barbara was a caring person . I graduated with her from Wilson High School and was part of the lunches that she planned so faithfully for so many years. She will be truly missed.

Jenelle and Andrea, I am sorry to hear about your mother's death. May her memory be a blessing to you and the family

May the Lord give comfort to Barbara’s family. Barbara was a very special friend. She was so kind and caring. Never had a bad word about anyone. We had so many fandom memories of high school, getting married, raising our children and old age. Will see you up in Heaven with our husbands. God bless you all❤

So sad to hear of her passing! She was a beautiful and special friend of mine. Monday will not be the same, we would visit Haddam Meadows and observe the river and wildlife. Condolences to you all: she was a blessing. Peace, Mardi

Prayers and love go to Jenell and Andrea and their families. Barbara was a sweet friend. She kept all the WWHS high school ladies who lunch organized. I will miss her. R.I.P Barbara.

Please take good care of Hunter
Godspeed.

To the Smith Family. May our friend
Barbara Smith Rest in Peace with her loving husband Smitty and our prayers and condolences are to her children and family With love the Houska Family
