A very caring and thoughtful person. And a loving wife with her high school sweetheart, Jimmy. Will always cherish my memories we shared as roommates at college. I know she had a strong faith and is now in another good home. Life is short…we need to love each other every day.
Our hearts are broken. Barbara was such a kind, gentle, beautiful person. Always positive. Her and Jimmy raised three of the finest young men we know. They set the bar real high. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.
