Barbara was born in Phoenix, AZ on February 26, 1946, to George and Pearl Hayes. She devoted her life to caring for her family and her husband of 45 years, Gary Mettille.
She leaves behind four children, Lori (Tagg), Jeff (Sonya), Kristen, Holly (Russell), and her sister Marilyn, in addition to 13 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Gary, her parents, 2 brothers and 1 sister. She was a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Her kind and generous heart, sense of humor, and compassionate spirit will be missed immensely by her family and friends.
We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Hospice of the Valley staff for the loving care shown to her and our family. Please make donations to Hospice of the Valley in lieu of flowers.
