Barbara was a pure joy to her family, friends, and everyone who met her. She loved rainbows, sunshine, word search puzzles, and spending time with her family. Barbara was the heart of her family and the center of family holidays. She enjoyed coloring eggs with her grandchildren, dressing up for Halloween, and decorating for Christmas.
