Barbara was born in Brooklyn, NY and lived most of her adult life in McLean, Va. She moved to Boynton Beach, FL in 2017 and soon after retired from a 40 year-long career in Mortgage Banking. She was an avid reader and enjoyed playing canasta with her many friends in the Hunters Run community.
Barbara was loved, admired and respected by all who knew her. She devoted her life to her family and friends and cherished her role as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Funeral services will be held on June 11th at 1:45 at the Beth Israel Memorial Chapel in Boynton Beach, followed by a graveside burial at the Eternal Light Memorial Gardens. A celebration of life will be held in the Northern Virginia area at a later date.
