Survived by her beloved daughters, Cissy August (Ron) and Janice Potts, her devoted grandson Donald Regalmuto, great-grandson Kaleo Regalmuto, loving nieces Sharon Potts and Shelly Marshall, Treasured extended family Paul Vincent and Jeannette Riess.

Barbara was born in San Francisco, and graduated from Girl's High School and St. Vincent's Business College. She was employed for many years as a paralegal in the Bay area. She was an avid reader, a lover of the arts and enjoyed traveling. She was involved in many community and charitable organizations, leading to lifelong friendships. She valued her friends in Reno, where she spent her later years. She remained true to her favorite city of San Francisco.

Per her request, there will be no services.

You will be forever missed Mom - we loved you so.
