She enjoyed reading and had an artistic flair for painting and various arts & crafts. She loved baking, especially with her granddaughters!

I remember Barb from my Decor Builders days. She was always kind and my memories are fond. I enjoyed many lunches at Vella’s on the Ridge with her where we’d enjoy their egg salad sandwiches. She was always upbeat even on some bad days. God bless her,
Heaven has another angel
