Barbara was born in Chicago on May 23, 1960, and moved to Arizona in 2002. She was a loving mother to her children Kelly Grotheer and David Pilaski, and she adored her grandchildren Jenna and James. What Barbara enjoyed most was being outside whether she was camping or gardening in her yard. She worked as a Senior Software Analyst for Maricopa County at the time of her death. Barbara truly knew that it was more blessed to give than to receive. Her generosity knew no bounds. She will always be loved and remembered; by her family and friends, and will live in their hearts forever.
