Barbara was a loving wife and mother and devoted grandmother and great-grandmother. Barbara especially loved her time as a military wife and would often tell stories about living in Spain and Goose Bay, Labrador. Her greatest joy was her family; a house full of little ones playing in the decades old toy box and the older ones shooting pool in the big den brought her so much happiness. Barbara could cook a mean fried pork chop and always had a smile on her face and love in her heart for everyone.
