Anyone that knew Barb would know she was a wonderful person. She always had a smile on her face and really enjoyed the company of her family and friends. She was a loving, caring, beautiful woman and really had a heart of gold. She was a great mom, grandma, daughter, sister and friend to all of those who loved her. We are all going to miss her silly jokes, that contagious laugh and bubbly personality.

A special thank you to the staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital for all your care and concern.
