My sincere condolences to Barbar's family and friends. I worked with her at Topps Chewing Gum in Duryea and the Scranton Candy Plant for many years. Although she was not in any my departments, her dance partner was and I used to run into them "Cutting the rug" at Litsy's and other pubs with live music. They always had a smile and a good time. Peace onto Barbara and we'll meet up with you on the other side!
