Beloved wife of Ronald J Getz, loving mother of Ronald D (Dina) Getz and Julie D (Jason) Kreischer, sister of Susan (Jim) Weimer, grandmother of Tyler and Alexis. Also loved and remembered by Betty Getz, George Getz, Judy Kutchin and all that knew her. Barbara was a bright ray of light that always shined positive rays. No matter her challenge she took it in stride and never let negativity bring her down. She was an inspiration to all and an example of how one person can bring love and happiness where ever she went. She is forever loved and will be truly missed but never forgotten. Barbara was a Type 1 diabetic from the age of 7. She lived with diabetes for over 65 years and was awarded the Joslin medal for her unyielding spirit when she survived the disease after 50 years. We would appreciate any gifts you are considering to be donated to the American Diabetes Association.
