Barbara spent her professional years at Bayside Manor in Keansburg, where she worked diligently in the kitchen. Her work ethic, warm smile, and delicious meals left a lasting impression on all who crossed her path. She was not only committed to her profession but also played an active role in her community. Barbara was a communicant of St. Ann Church in Keansburg, where her faith and devotion were exemplified in her daily life.
