As a mother, she poured her love, energy, and time into raising her four children, treasuring every moment spent with them. Her life was a beautiful reflection of unwavering love, selflessness, and the deep bonds of family.

Barbara found immense joy in spending time with her grandchildren, whether they were cooking together, sharing stories while shopping, or simply enjoying long, heartfelt conversations. With her great-grandchildren, she embraced the quiet, tender moments, rocking them gently as she sang sweet lullabies, reading them books, or napping with them in her chair. These simple joys brought her the greatest happiness and created memories her family will cherish forever.

She loved traveling, sewing, gardening, fishing and going to car shows with her husband, talking with friends and family, and cooking for anyone who would eat. Her hobby was baking brownies for all her neighbors.

Barbara was a proud member of the CVMA Auxiliary and enjoyed socializing and fundraising with her chapter.

She will be missed dearly but forever remembered for her love, kindness, and the legacy of strength she leaves
