She retired having made a profound difference in countless lives.

Family was the center of Barbara's world. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Darin Cool; her beloved daughter-in-law, Jackie Cool; her cherished grandchildren, Jamie, Janalynn, and Amber Cool; her several beloved great-grandchildren; and her dear cousin and best friend, Peggy Montgomery.
