She was an Artist and always had some kind of needle work or craft project at hand until her vision declined. Barbara and Ed loved to travel and often with their golf clubs when they weren’t playing at Hop Meadow Country Club in Simsbury, CT where they were members for over 50 years.

She is survived by her daughters Lucy and her husband John Carty, Amy and her husband Charles Gouger; granddaughters, Lisa (Carty) and her husband Anthony Dineen, and Stephanie Carty; great-grandchildren, Hope, Charlotte, Dominic, and Parker.
