She had a special gift for making everyone feel welcome and appreciated, a testament to her deeply caring nature.
On February 7, 1969, Barbara married the love of her life, George McMorris. Their union was a beautiful partnership that spanned decades, full of love and mutual respect. Together they created a warm and loving home for their family.
