To Ms Barbara’s family, she be so missed by DHS and all the many friends she had there and I am very happy to say I was one of those friends. Even though we didn’t always work in the same building, I always stopped to tell her hello so I could get my hug that I knew was coming. She was such a loving person and will be in my prayers. Rest well with your Maker, you deserve the rest now Barbara.

I knew Barbara (from our DHS employment) for more than 30 years. She was always so outgoing, kind and dependable......I joked that she would probably never retire and she was still going strong when I retired in 2017!
You did fought the good fight and ran that race right up to heaven! RIP
