Barbie Rusten Larson

Barbie devoted her life to her daughters and her grandson. She enjoyed relaxing, reading, traveling, shopping, and keeping up with her fairy garden in her backyard. Barbie showed her love by spending quality time with friends/ family and by giving gifts. She welcomed everyone she met and always made people feel accepted. Barbie gave the best advice and she enjoyed sharing her experiences. She’ll be remembered as a beautiful, kind, loving, and vibrant mom who left us too soon.
