I went to see Barb after our 50th reunion to show her video of classmates. It was a fun visit. Through the 4 years at Aquinas Barb & I were teammates & other times rivals on volleyball teams. Barb, Diane Kulovitz & Carol Lewis were the dynamic trio from OLP as I recall. And senior year, Barb & I were in same homeroom with St. Grace Agatha. Need I say more I imagine Barb & Diane are having a good time catching up.
Thanks for the laughs & great memories Barb. Blessed be❤

Chuck and Dorothy Voss were BFF’s of my Mom and Dad so Barb and I spent many memorable times together at bday parties, sandy summer cottages and as Aquinas classmates. She was absolutely hilarious , brilliant and most importantly kind, generous and empathetic to my crisises. Chuck escorted Barb and me to every Aquinas father/daughter event and we always had a glorious time. She will be missed by many.My sympathy to her loved ones. How lucky we were to have her in our lives!. ❤Patti Campbell Turk

Barb and I went to Aqinas Catholic High School in Chicago. Barb was always a fun gal with a smile on her face. I now live in Arizona to be close to my family. A few years after I moved here Barb came to Phoenix and met a few of us Aquinas gals for lunch. I enjoyed our day so much. I am sorry for her family's loss and will be praying for Barb.
