Barbara was an excellent cook and musician. She was often known to host meals after attending church or Sunday dinners. Barbara brought a smile to many faces with her passion for music. She was skilled in playing organ, guitar, and accordion and could pick up a tune just by listening. Barbara was an active church member first at the Mason Nazarene Church for over 15 years and later at Temple Baptist Church in Bradenton.
Services for Barbara are to be held at Skyway Memorial Funeral Homes, followed by an interment at Skyway Memorial Gardens in Palmetto, Florida.
