Barb lived for her family. She built a loving home rich with memories, children, and grandchildren. Barb was an excellent cook and there was always room for another chair at the famous Sunday spaghetti and meatball dinners. Barb loved the family trips to the beach and the motorhome caravans to summer NASCAR weekends. Above all, Barb was always looking for the fun in life, bringing out the best in people and putting a smile on a friend's face.
