My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of need. I am so sorry. I have not seen or talked to barb since early 90's. She worked and was best friends with my mother Joyce A Johnson. However, even til this day I remember going to a concert with Barb, Mom and myself. She always kept me and mom laughing during a time when I needed it while my parents divorce. I will never forget her and I will always miss and love her. Once again my thoughts and prayers are for your family.
Sincerely,
Lori A Johnson

I worked with Barb in the early 80's. Even though we lost touch, I've never forgotten her. She touched my life when I was very young & it's helped to shape who I am today. I spoke to her briefly about 8 years ago, while answering calls for Cincinnati Bell customers and she was still the same great Barb, just as I'd remembered...
She was very special...

I just read that Barb has passed. I send my condolences to her family. I knew Barb through work. She at Cincinnat Bell and me at GE. She was my liasion and we shared many work projects and long hours. I truly loved her and have thought about her through the years. We lost contact after she retired and was no longer my liasion. Barb was a great mother and I know she must have been a FANTASTIC grandmother! May she rest in peace. As the years pass the grief will lessen but the loss and wanting them here with you will not. Comfort to the family.

Barb and I worked together for many years at Cincinnati Bell. We also socialized on numerous occasions and shared stories about our children as well as uncovering the fact that we shared friendship with numerous people from Cleves. Barb was a great co worker and always a lot of fun to work with regardless of the long hours and the demanding requirements. I had lost contact with her after our retirement and believe the last time I saw her was at a Pioneer Christmas Party. She will certainly be missed by her family and friends.
