I worked with Barbara at Scenic Hills for many years. She was ALWAYS kind, professional, and very gracious with EVERY customer and EVERY employee. She was ALWAYS fair. She was a true friend.

Most of all she LOVED her family. She adored her sons Patrick & Peter!! They were the center of her world. She was most happy knowing they were happy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She truly was a wonderful person!

I also worked with Barbara at Fridley TCF, but also had occasion to socialize as well. She honored me by helping to celebrate my marriage and the birth of my daughter. She was indeed a beautiful, gracious woman. My heart is heavy. My sympathy and condolences to your family.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Barbara through my brother-in-law Pete when he married my sister Carla. It was easy to see what a wonderful mother that Barbara was while watching her with Pete. She was an outstanding entertainer as well; I enjoyed her italian cooking - she introduced me to something called "Sunday Gravy" , which was her delicious red sauce. She was such an amazing woman and I'm thrilled to have had the pleasure of knowing her and getting to know her wonderful son Pete who has become a wonderful addition to our own family now.

I especially enjoyed watching Barbara in her role as a grandmother where she loved to play with and read to her grandson and grandaughter endlessly. They always delighted in spending time with her and it was obvious that she loved them very much.

I've known Barbara since I befriended Pete in college. She was wonderful to us and an "Angel Mom" in every way. My heart goes out to Pete and the Cappelletti family
