My grandmother was one of the strongest women I ever knew.I'll never forget the summers of fun with cousins running around swimming in the pool, grandpas barbecue, and grandmas deserts!!!  Her pineapple upside down cake was my very favorite!!I know you are at peace, and dancing in heaven, but you sure are missed down here.Always in my heart, no matter how far.Kell

Your daughter will live on and share your passion and spirit. Our thoughts and prayers for the family...

Brenda and family I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you all to get though this very hard time. I am here if you need anything, just let me know.. Big Hugs and Love.

I met Barbara in the early 70's, when Brenda and I  drove to Redding. I unfortunately came down with the flu, and Brenda and her lovely, gracious  mom, took such good care of me. I only wish that I had known her better.

She was the best Mother in law and Fishing buddy a guy could hope to have.

My grams will be missed dearly. Grandma was always happy to see me and as a child I can remember her big smothering hugs lol. Grams and I had a lot in common, a couple things being that we both loved juicy fruit gum and our favorite cake was Angel food cake. My grandma was so loving, sweet and hilariously sarcastic at the same time, she was so down to earth and always understood anything I was going through.. I felt so at home at my grandma and grandpa's. I feel horrible for my Auntie and grandpa, but grams is no longer in pain. Until we meet again, fly high with the angels up in heaven ... xoxo I love you

I had the pleasure of being Barbara's caregiver here in Roseburg. She was such a loving, caring, fiesty lady, who loved her Family and her husband Sam more than words could ever describe. She will truly be missed.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
