Barbara always had a big smile on her face and was a wonderful friend during my 12 years teaching at Mitchell School in Des Moines.

I've loved and learned from Aunt Barbara through out my whole life. First as an Aunt (I have such wonderful memories as a kid with her and my cousins Alan and Sue), then as a wife (the love she had for Uncle Doyle and family), then as a woman (I always respected and looked up to her) and now as a cherished friend. She may be gone in body but not in spirit and soul. Till we meet again Aunt Barbara :) .... Love and deepest sympathy to the family and all loved ones. Carol and Nick

So sorry to hear, Barbara was a big part of us kids growing up. I remember clearly how well she took care of all of her family.
My thoughts are with you.
