Barbara was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a friend, a confidant, a warm hug, and

word of encouragement when someone needed it most. She was the first to arrive to a party with a dish

in hand, the creative eye behind the camera, capturing beautiful moments over decades, an unwavering

sense of humor and a sanctuary for her grandkids filled with love and fresh baked cookies.

Barbara will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
