Barbara T. Bane

Barbara started on her road of helping others as the big sister and protector to her sisters and brothers.

She went on to be a strong, independent widow and mother to Patty and Shannon, and a loving aunt to not only her own nieces and nephews, but to anyone in need of love or light. She shared her zest for life and everything it had to offer, infecting all of us who were lucky enough to be a part of her life.

Barbara's door was always open, her refrigerator overstocked, with room at her table and in her heart for everyone who needed it. She was happiest when cooking your favorite meal or baking delicious treats to make smiles.
