Hello,I lived across the street from Barbara on Ash Court for a few years. She was a delightful neighbor! She was always interested in my little girls (now grown) and so friendly. Her yard was lovely and she seemed to take great pride in it. I am so sorry to hear of her death. We moved across town about 7 years ago and I always missed her.Nancy

Trish, My thoughts and prayers are with you. love,     Rachel

All my love and condolences to Trish and her family in this time of loss.
Roger and Sharon Bender

It was always such a delight when Barbara Quinby was at the Will house for some kind of celebration or get together. She had such a spark of energy and was so charismatic. We will miss her.  Trish, Doug, and family, we are sorry for your loss.  Your mother and grandmother was a special person who lived a very full life.

To family and friends of Mrs. Quinby,
I read of your loss and wanted to send a note of sympathy. In reading of Barbara's life and all the things she loved and enjoyed one can see she will be greatly missed by her dear family and many friends. Her love of travel one can only imagine the lives she touched.  I have shared with others two wonderful scriptures that give much comfort at times like these. 2 Cor. 1:3, 4 which speaks of Jehovah God as ""the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."" and Isaiah 51:12 ""I - I myself am the One that is comforting you people."" I believe we can treasure the wonderful memories and I know you have many of Barbara as a loving  mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many. Please know you are in the thoughts of many.

When I heard of Barbara's passing, I felt like I had been hit hard in the stomach. I know she has been ill and suffering for some time but there is never a good time for such a wonderful lady to be taken from us. I first met Barbara at a Rialto volunteer's dinner when I was about 16 and although the dinner was grand, all I can remember is our long conversation. Every time we talked, I felt like I had gained some new insight to this strange world. Barbara was a beautiful lady inside and out, very intellegent and we were all lucky to have her as a mother, grandmother, friend and teacher.
I am so, so sorry she has passed. I do know she is gabbing away with my grandmothers up in Heaven now and pray we will all meet again when our time comes!

Trish, I was so sorry to hear about your mom, I know how close you were. Thinking of you. 
Glenda

My condolences to Barb's family:
I feel very blessed to have known Barb as a neighbor and co-worker but most importantly as a friend while I lived in Cary, IL. She was  my daughter's ""Bright Oaks Grandmother"" and we shared many good times over the years.

Quinby family,
Barbara Quinby was a special person to us, as she was our neighbor for 13 years.  We shared some fun times!  We are never ready to lose our Mom's.  Keep all those special memories close to your heart and visit them often!

I looked forward to brief visits with Mrs. Quinby over the phone, when she would call Kincaid Tree Surgery for her tree maintenance.  What a lovely lady! 
 My sincere sympathies to the family.

Dear Will Family - Our deepest sympathies.  We will never forget meeting ""Grandma Will"" at Vanessa & Warren's wedding.  We enjoyed hosting all of you so much and will always remember her wit and love of being around those she loved and cared about.  Be comforted by knowing that she is in a better place.

Trish,
It was a pleasure to meet your mother the last time I was in Loveland. She was quite a character! She is now in a better place.

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing.  It is always a bittersweet time. We are so sorry they are gone but then again, happy they are with the Lord and no longer in distress.
God Bless you families.

Dear Family
I was fortunate to have live two doors away as a child and deeply honored that Mrs. Quinby viewed me as part of the family. She will be in my heart forever and I will always remember her as my second mom. I share your sorrow at the passing of this truly wonderful lady.

Trish****My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Oh and by the way, my mother was also born on October 5th. No doubt Ms. Barbara was a Phenomenal woman.
Enjoy the memories that live in our hearts forever!!

I'm grateful that ""Nani"", as we know her, welcomed me whole heartedly into the Will family.  We shared a love for travel, politics, and the women's movement- ""Yes we can"".  I loved hearing about her adventures around the world and her passion for learning.  
I'm thankful that my mother-in-law, Trish, was so kind to her.  She was blessed to have such an amazing daughter. 
Lots of love to the Quinbys and Wills- 
Amy

Barb's Family
My deepest sympathy to all of you.  Barb loved her family and loved to tell about them.  She will be missed by all who knew her.  I treasure all the happy memories of our times together and our travels together.  My prayers are with you.

Dear family,  what a memory this obituary brought back!  About the year 1974 or 1975 Barb was moving to Cary and had to wait to get into the house.  She stayed at my big house on Maple Street with me, a widow, over the Christmas season. A couple of her boys came too and we had an on-going cribbage game, sometimes in front of the fire place.  What fun we had and I wish she had stayed in CL so we could have lived out our friendship.   One other incidentwas when she lost her diamond on my kitchen floor.  found it too.  Blessings,  AEK

Dear Family - Barbara was a special woman and her tenure on the Youth Service Bureau Board of Directors was only one example of how she cared for the community. I learned much from her about compassion, humor and grace. I will always fondly remember her. Susan Krause, YSB Executive Director

Dear Trish et al,
You all have my heartfelt condolences; Barbara was a unique and lovely woman.  Just knowing her called me to know my mind, to strive to enrich my life and others' lives when possible.  Truly a grand lady.  I appreciated interesting discussions with Barbara, her candor and her generosity. 
I am grateful, Trish, that from early in our friendship, before Barbara moved to Colorado, you shared your mother's visits with me.  It meant a great deal to me to be included in outings or a lunch.
Your mother was indeed fortunate to be so nearby.  Kudos to you, Trish, for your marvelous advocacy for her and her needs.  I hope it is comforting to know you did your best for her.  No mother could ask for more. 
My heart is with you all.

Trish,
I always got along with your mom ever since she saw a political sign in my yard. She always told me she was the only Democrat in the County. I read how she always worked hard on passing school bonds and I thought what a great thing to worry about. I also think Chris must have got his love for theater from her. She was a feisty lady (right Doug) but she had a very big and giving heart. What a nice person. The world could use more of her kind.

Dear Will Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. We'll always remember Barbara for her gracious smile and genuine love and concern for others. Sending our sympathy to you and your family.
