They genuinely loved each other for the rest of their lives together. Barbara and Oliver enjoyed 68 years of marriage, before Oliver passing on August 12, 2018.

She was a true disciple of Christ and cared for all those around her, even up to her last days. She will be missed by many friends and neighbors.
Barbara loved her family and was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She always shared her love with her family and made her home a gathering place for all. She was a fabulous cook and her extraordinary talents brought joy and happiness to so many.
