Barb worked as a medical assistant for Dr. Martin for 27 years. After retiring, Barb volunteered for Hospice Alliance.
Barb enjoyed going to the cabin at Stager Lake, watching movies, reading, jigsaw puzzles, and playing Scrabble. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family.

Oh, this is so saddening - another classmate!! I remember Barbara and I don't even remember any specifics - probably just in some classes, but I do remember how she threw her head back when she laughed. Rest in Peace Barbara - you are definitely in a better place. Condolences to the family.

Barbara and I were neighbors and friends. Our children played together almost daily. She was a beautiful, kind and loving person. My sincere condolences to her family.

So very sorry to see the news of Barb's passing. I remember her from junior high as well as high school. We sat across from each other in I believe English class and really laughed too much. She had a great laugh and was easy to be around. I saw her working at the hospital just before she was going to reitre. Still pretty and friendly and will be missed by many people she helped in her life. Condolences to her famiy and friends.
