She attended the Evangelistic Tabernacle and G Street First Assembly of God / Tacoma Life Center where she enjoyed singing in the choir. Barbara joined a bowling league with her friends in the late 60’s and enjoyed many years of strikes and gutter balls. One of her favorite hobbies was spending time in her yard gardening. She was a wonderful baker and made desserts for every occasion. Shopping with her daughter was another favorite past-time. Another favorite thing was going to Pao’s Donut shop for coffee, donuts and good conversation with family and friends as often as she could.
