Barbara was a remarkable woman, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend -- she always made us laugh and touched many lives with her generosity, spirit, love, and commitment to her family. She was a source of joy and inspiration for everyone who met her, and she never stopped giving and caring for others. She will be profoundly missed, and her memory will forever reside in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known and loved her.
