I remember Barbara loved to have fun and cook. In the seventies, up in Arnold, Ca. at the cabin, she made this wonderful teriyaki chicken that I still make to this day.

I remember Barbara from the great summers in the 1940s when she and Dalton, and Cretia, Retta and Eddie and I spent time together at the cabin and and at Grandma Gladys and Grampa George's ranch across the highway and the fun afternoons we spent at the beach near Aptos after the fog cleared away. I had not seen her since, and was very sad to hear that she had passed. Mike Bigelow

RIP Barb
I have known this amazing woman for over 35 years, our paths crossed in so many ways. We bowled in the same leagues, we worked on Boy Scout fund raisers at Charles Wright and more ventures than I can mention. Everything she did she did with that big smile on her face and when it came to volunteering she didn't know the word no. She will be missed by all of us who knew her.
