Barb loved and was loved by her family and took special joy in spoiling her children and grandchildren on the holidays.

Deepest sympathy to Barbs family. I was kind of shocked to find out that Barb had passed. I know Barb as I live in Lone Rock also. She has been my neighbor for the last 15 years. We would talk here and there and Barn would come over to my house and sometimes we sat on the porch or stood at my front window talking thru the window about various things. She was a very kind person who loved her animals a lot. She will be greatly missed.

Deepest sympathy to Barb's children and grandchildren. I am Barb's cousin and have had no recent contact with her as I didn't know where she was. Last time I saw her was at a Widmer reunion in Argyle. Sandy (Widmer) Waefler from Monroe
