A truly caring soul, Barbara spent her life doing whatever she could for others. Whether it was offering a helping hand, a warm meal, or a listening ear, she made everyone around her feel valued and loved. Her heart for service was evident in all she did, especially during her 20 years as cafeteria manager at Harrisonburg High School. There, she nourished not only students' bodies, but also their spirits, treating each child as if they were her own.

Outside of her work, she found great joy in genealogy, carefully tracing family history and preserving the stories of those who came before her. She took pride in knowing where she came from and ensuring those memories lived on. She also loved tending to her garden, finding peace in watching things grow-much like the way she nurtured everyone around her.

Her greatest joy, however, was her family-especially her beloved grandbabies. They were the light of her life, and she poured endless love into each of them, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

To know Barbara was to be touched by her gentle spirit and generous heart. She leaves behind a family who adored her, friends who treasured her, and a community made better by her presence. Her kindness will live on in the countless lives she touched.
