Carolyn and Charles, my heart goes out to both of you as you grieve the loss of your mother. She was one in a million. Barbara was a dynamic individual who had very strong opinions on many issues. She was a determined and energetic person until sadly her health issues impacted her mobility. She could be very intimidating when you first met her, but as I got to know her over the last few years I saw a good hearted, kind lady who truly wanted to be of use and help to others. I will miss her feisty spirit and our engaging talks.

Barbara was a force of nature. She was devoted to her family & friends. As a first grade teacher, she constructed a curriculum focusing on success for the children. As a colleague, I admired her tenacity and devotion to family, friends and the school children in her care. Barbara lived a full life in every aspect of the term!
