Barbara was the tribe matriarch of the family and counseled all with the faith of God in her presence to help whoever needed guidance.
She had consistent daily and weekly rituals to ensure all in her circle were happy and faithful and understood what was most important in our daily lives through care and love.
She enjoyed doing flower arrangements for whoever needed them to show love and family importance to all.
She had a God-given gift of piano playing. She used her gift of music and her piano as she played throughout all her years, from playing in church for the congregation, playing for the church choir and at home with family.
Prayers from her for her husband, kids, grandkids, sisters, brother and numerous friends will be truly missed. But we all know she has a direct line to help continue in faith.
