Hey Barb, I'm going to write about you here, so I hope you don't mind. I know you are gracious and modest when it comes to others expressing their gratitude and praise for what you've done in their lives. However, even as I write this, I am wondering what words to use that would describe just how blessed I feel having you as my sister, friend and sometimes "parent", when I needed it. I always looked up to you, admired you and respected you. Your integrity could not be questioned, nor could your honesty. Your encouragement, support and advise is still greatly appreciated. I will miss you, dearly and deeply. Love always and proudly, your sister. - Posted by Susie on February 24, 2023

I have such great memories of Barb from my years of working with her when she was a counselor at Stevens. I could always count on Barb to do and say the best thing to help students through rough patches in their lives. She had a lasting influence on so many! - Posted by Lois Vogele on February 27, 2023

Barbara was a wonderful sister in law. There are no words to explain her character and kindness. She was the queen of love, helper and kindness . Daily she expressed joy and positivity. She and my husband were the best of friends and talked often. He will be able to continue his conversations with her in heaven. Barbara lived life with honor and respect. She will be missed.
