Barbara was a mainstay of Intel's early chips as a layout designer, and she went on to share her skills with many budding layout specialists through the Maness School of Design. I'm saddened to hear of her passing, and I'm sure many others are as we'll.

Barbara was such a wonderful person, with a great spirit. What a sharp gal too, she will always be remembered fondly.
I extend my deepest sympathies to her family, may the peace that comes from the memories comfort you now and in the days ahead.
