Loving wife, phenomenal mother and grandmother passed away on Thursday morning, May 20 in West Palm Beach. Barbara was the wife of Paul Sheridan, the mother of Christopher (Amanda) and Timothy Sheridan and the "Grammy" of Bailey Sheridan. Barbara is survived by her loving sister and brother, Joan Tierney (Don) and Norman Dinkel (Holly) of Chicago, IL.

Since its founding in 1988, Barbara worked as the executive director of the KIND Foundation (KIND stands for Kids In Need Developmentally). The non-profit organization, now located in Palm Beach Gardens, helps children with learning disabilities. She worked tirelessly to ensure the Foundation's for the sake of KIND's kids.
Her warm, bright smile will be missed by all who knew or met her. She was active in various Catholic Church activities and enjoyed playing tennis. Barbara was 62.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Barb's family and everyone at the Kind Foundation during this sad time.
She helped make the lives of many dyslexic children better, while working tirelessly at dismissing the stigmas of "learning differences".

Dear Paul and Boys,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I remember Barbara and you as a young couple, at early St. Rita's, who reached out to so many others unselfishly. I will always remember your kindness to me.
Barbara always told me how you two prayed together for troubled marriages. You are a great example to others.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Mathew (formerly Brinkey)
