She was a pillar of strength, a source of endless love, and the heart of our home. Her warmth could brighten even the darkest days, and her wisdom will continue to guide us.

Barbara was not only a loving mother but also a cherished grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. She touched the lives of many with her generosity, infectious laughter, and compassionate spirit. Whether through a comforting embrace, a home-cooked meal, or simple words of encouragement, she had a way of making everyone feel special and loved. She dedicated her life to the service of others, exemplifying compassion and commitment throughout her 30+ year career as a nurse.

She married David Taibi in 1979 and they were married for 46 years. Together they raised three children: Tiffany Marie, David James, and Michael Anthony. Her nurturing spirit extended to her two grandchildren, Angelina and Natalia, who will forever remember her as their loving Grandma.

Though she is no longer physically with us, her love, lessons, and legacy will live on in the lives she touched. Rest peacefully. You will always be loved and never forgotten.

A service to honor and celebrate her life will be held at a later date to be determined.

"Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day."
