Loyal, devoted, kind, faithful, helpful. Daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt, second mom, Godmother, friend. She loved the many people close to her deeply and without reservation. She was always there for them.
Cheerful, honest, open, genuine, optimistic, adventurous, fun! World traveler, Seminole reservation school teacher, Montessori teacher, environmental educator. She embraced life enthusiastically. She was inquisitive and loved nature in all its diversity. She found immense joy being with children - and the feeling was mutual.
Barbara gave the world her incredibly generous spirit and the people who knew her true love and friendship.
At only 69 years of age, we lost her too soon. And the world lost an amazing and wonderful soul. We know that wherever and whatever Heaven is, she has surely made it there!
