Barbara frequently opened her home and large side yard for Junior League gatherings- Steak Roasts and Sustainer coffees. We always had a wonderful time together at her home. She was a very gracious hostess.

Barbara was a dear friend for many years in Summit. Our connection was neighbor, children, golf and just good fun times together. We moved to Florida 30 years but the friendship was never forgotten Rest in peace Barb

The best neighbor, most gracious host, authentic, quick to smile and an automatic laugh at a mediocre joke. The Valley View community has lost but will always cherish this absolute legend.

I don´t know where to begin. Barb was a wonderful spirit, quick to laugh, and a great friend. I loved her sense of humor and her joyous sense of life that she shared with others. I will miss her very much.
