Barbara was raised as an only child by her mother and at times, her aunt and uncle in Springfield and later attended University of Illinois- Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Journalism. There she met Donald Kincaid and the two married in 1950. Soon after they moved to the Washington D.C. area and raised their family in Fairfax, Virginia. Barbara worked briefly at the CIA and later became a realtor. Later, after raising children, she became an antiquarian book dealer, specializing in murder mysteries. Her website was called “Murder A La Carte”. Barbara loved music, art, and had a knack for interior decorating. She always had a thick stack of jazz and classical records on the hi fi. She encouraged music lessons and educational opportunities for her children. She always put her family first.
She was a critical thinker and always taught us to question the status quo. She modeled and taught us liberal, humanistic values. Above all else, she was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be deeply missed by all.

She is survived by her sons, Bob (Gerene) Kincaid and David (Steve Lloyd) Kincaid; grandchildren, Kris (Beth) and Kyle (Deb); great-grandchildren, Sydney, Macy and Cole. She gave of herself as a grandmother for our informally adopted son, Frank.
Burial will take place at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery.
