I had the honor of working with Barb for 5 delightful years. She always had a good story, and was a pleasure to be around. May she rest in eternal peace.

My children, Dylan and Shelby loved Barb. Dylan did her yard work for the last couple years and had many good talks. They are in NC until Friday so they will miss the visitation. They are very sad that Barb passed before they were back to say goodbye. We will all miss her! ❤

I sat beside Barb in Dispatch at Frontier. She told me so many stories of her life, which kept me interested daily. I was waiting for the next story each day.She spoke her mind and did not bite her tongue if she was going to express her feelings. I loved all of that about her. She would bring in Jumbo Shrimp for only a few of us to eat and never forgetting about the cocktail sauce. She told me we were better than the , Keeping up with the Kardashians" so we must eat Jumbo Shrimp cocktail.I told her , that the wonderful stories she would tell me she should put in a memoir because if I enjoyed them, I know others would too. Well as we now know, The Lord wanted this Angel to be able to spread her Wings with him and tell her wonderful stories to them. She will be missed and was truly loved.

Carol & Family:
Barb was a very unique person so, even when sick, still kept that air of fun around her. She should have lived far longer but where she is peacefully now, she will always have that gleam in her eye and that quirky demeanor. Just try to remember the fun Barb who brought you joy and also probably put you in your place at times!!! Heaven gained a special angel and though she is gone from this life, she has moved beautifully into another. God Bless each of you. I love you, Carol!

I will always remember Barb. I've worked with her since my days in the BSC as a rep and as her supervisor in Dispatch for several years. She was comical and had a playful spirit. One things for sure... if Barb was around it was never a dull moment. She could crack jokes without trying because that's who she was. She kept you laughing about something and she wasn't shy to speak her mind. She was truly a joy to be around and so giving. Love you Barb and rest in Jesus now!
