I met Barbara working at Tupperware and we became good friends. I thought of her often and relished the many hours we spent together reminiscing about our time at work.

I worked with her at Tupperware in North Smithfield and she was a lovely friend in my hour of need many years ago. She had a heart of gold and such a sweet disposition. I never forget her.

I had the pleasure of living in the same house on Park Ave. with Barbara and her mom growing up. Barbara lived there for over 50 years. Like a mom to me. Sorry we did not see the obituary listed in time.
