She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and her niece, Lisa Sharpe.

Barbara was known for her ability to make people smile and laugh. She had a pleasant personality. She could be a "hard nut to crack", but once you were a friend you were a friend for life.

Barbara fought a long hard battle with diabetes and cancer. She was loved by so many and she loved them all in return. She was devoted to family and was a loving mother, sister and aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Special thank you to the dialysis team at Mercy Medical Center.

Barb was one of the funniest people I have ever met. It was never just a smile but a downright tummy hurting laugh. Our deepest condolences are with you all. May God wrap his loving arms around you at this time of grieving and in the future.

Rest in peace Barb.
