Her love extended to her animals, especially Patches, Mocha, and Twilight.
An avid sports enthusiast, Barbara enjoyed bowling, skating, and proudly cheered for the Cowboys. She had a fondness for cop shows, the Hallmark Channel, and trivia nights with Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Barbara also found a sense of community on Facebook, connecting with friends near and far.
