Barbara enjoyed many hobbies such as: sewing, travel, bingo, bowling and arts & crafts. She enjoyed listening to music, her favorite songs were Rod Stewart's "Forever Young" and Pat Benatar's, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". By far Barbara's greatest source of joy and happiness was spending time with her grandchildren; whether it be watching her grandson's soccer games, cheering on the marching bands or attending a recital at Rabbit Run Arts Center; she was an intricate part of her grandchildren's daily lives.

In keeping with her wishes, her ashes will spread in the Atlantic Ocean at one of her favorite places to travel, St. Augustine, Florida.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of The Western Reserve.
