Barbara married Edward Henry Graham on May 14, 1960, at Grace United Methodist Church in Denver. Barb and Ed had 4 boys, Stan, Roger, Phillip, and Jeffrey. Her boys remember her as a sweet, loving person. She loved to do word find puzzles and knit. We all appreciated her skill at making us dish cloths. It was important to her that her nails were done. Sunday was “nail day” every week. She was beautiful inside and out!

Barbara began working for Fiore and Sons in 2000. She was payroll clerk for many years and was greatly loved and admired. Later she became an administrative assistant. Barbara was remembered for recalling events based on what people were wearing when these things happened. She was very proud to still be working at 74 years old.

Survivors include her four sons and their wives; two sisters and two brothers; ten grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her two brothers, Jimmy and David; and her mother, father and her dad.
