Barbara lived a creative and fulfilling life. From 1970 to 1985, she pursued her passion as an artist, painting just about anything that wasn’t battened down. In 1986, she opened Rachael’s Fine Fabrics, a business she lovingly owned and operated until her retirement in 2013. Through her success as a top seller of Pfaff sewing machines, Barbara was able to travel the world and form lifelong friendships.

Faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she was a devoted member of Oakwood Fellowship.
