Barbara was a lovely lady! We got to know each other because our children attended the same school! We started taking turns driving our kids to school! She is missed by so many family and friends!

Barbara's warm, generous, wonderful spirit will live forever in our hearts. We miss her, but she left everyone who knew her with happy memories. We met her in Jazzercise class and she became a special friend. She was a strong women that held onto a positive attitude in spite of many health issues. She raised two beautiful daughters of whom she was very proud and they reflect their mother's many admirable traits. Our sorrow of losing her is great, but the blessing of having known her is greater. God bless her family in this time of grief.

We met Barbara through our children who attended Barnard School. We ended up taking turns driving our kids to school and became friends. We could always see her walking one of her dogs around the neighborhood. She was a lovely, bright woman and will be missed by all her knew her. My heart goes out to her wonderful daughters Karen and Lauren!
