Barbara had a love for reading, and was know to read up to four books a week. She was a wonderful mother and wife. With her super smile, she genuinely had a love for life and lived life to the fullest. Her radiant smile lit up any room, and her beauty and personality was always the bell of any party or reunion. She is and will be missed by all who knew her, and if you never had the privilege to meet her, you truly missed out on one great lady. Heaven is rejoicing with her presence.
