Barbara Pool Obituary
She was born November 18, 1955, in Westfield, NY, a daughter of the late Clair and Geraldine Grover Donelson.

Barbara was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and devoted sister who treasured every moment spent with her family. She will be remembered for her generous heart, her deep love of nature and animals, and the steady strength she carried throughout her life.
