Barb was the most beautiful, caring soul! Her compassion for people and animals is unsurpassed. The years she spent with my Dad filled our hearts with warmth knowing he was with such a wonderful person! She was his best friend till the end. She was always thoughtful and loving. She was also our friend, sharing her love of beauty and music with us. She touched our whole family and we will miss her dearly.
With gratitude and love,

Wow this is just so tragic, Barb will be missed by many people, She really knew how to make you laugh and could find the humor in just about anything! Barb use to cut my hair, and I remember her “talking up a storm” one time, and she inadvertently shaved off half my eyebrow! She was mortified but i couldn’t stop laughing! Her family, friends, and her dog were her world! My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. RIP Barb
