Barb was such a caring and loving daughter, sister, and sister-in-law. She taught us some very special lessons about life. She has left behind countless memories that will bring joy to the countless hearts she has touched. It gives us comfort to know that Barb's soul has found a pain-free, peaceful place in heaven.
Love you always, Mom and Dad - Kathy and Jeff - Lisa and Bill
"Barb was an amazing influence to all of her nephews and to her niece. We were like her own children to her. We couldn't wait to go visit Barb when we were young. She loved to travel with us and would often come camping with us every summer. She taught us to appreciate everything the world has to offer and fueled my desire to get out and travel and try something different."
