Jody daughter says
My mom was the strongest women I know and she has touched so many lives with her kindness,I miss her more than words could say.We were close it hurts that i will not get to talk to her again or feel her touch, I know shes in a better place and thats what comforts me
Lois Longwell says
I was at work when Vic called early Wednesday morning to tell me that Barb had died. Didn’t matter that I knew it was coming,I totally broke down. Thank God I had a friend there to talk with. I’ve had a lump in my throat ever since. How perfectly true that her heart was so strong that she survived longer than we would have thought. Her heart was powerful and generous, just like her spirit. Her soul legacy is light on water. Love to all of you who have been, are,and will always be so loving to her.
Marcia Hubbs Ayers says
I am so sorry to hear of Barb’s passing. She was my first best friend. Our brothers, Barney and Jack, were friends and they would take us to each others house to play. I loved playing in her big house with so many rooms and servants quarters. I was really sad when she moved away. I will always see her as a cute little 12 year old with pigtails.

Mom
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be……so he put His
arms around you and whispered, “Come
to Me”. With tearful eyes I watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although I loved you dearly….I could not
make you stay. A golden heart stopped
beating, hard working hands at rest. God
broke my heart to prove to me He only takes
the best.

Teressa grand daughter says
I knew my Nana my whole life and I remember drawing her pictures and seeing her smile and put then on her shelves. She was the best nana anyone could ask for. She loved football and although I didn’t know until after she was gone I planned to be a psychologist just like her. I miss you Nana.
