We will miss her lively pugnacious style and a great neighbor at 200 East Delaware.We will miss our meetups in Florida and the canasta lessons she freely shared. A truly Damon Runyon character. Harold and Mona Shabelman

Barbara was a good friend for many years. I loved her and will miss her and our dinners at EJ´s. We always have had a good laugh. I too have called her "Noodles". Her energy was contagious.

Barbara was truly an active person who belied her age. I enjoyed our dinners in Florida when she wintered here. I also called her Noodles!
Rest in peace
