I had the pleasure to work with Barb at Citizenship where she was one of the king pins of the operation. Her budgets were always balanced, she was great with suppliers and tradesmen. She could fix practically anything with the stash of tools she kept in her bottom drawer and she was always cheerful.
We have kept in touch via Christmas cards and I know how proud she was of Kenneth and Courtney..
Our sincerest condolences for your loss.

My mother and I had the privilege of meeting Barbara through her great niece Courtney and came to know her as auntie Barb. She was a truly unique lady and gave anyone who knew her the feeling that they were liked and cared for. She was funny and wonderful to converse with, I truly enjoyed seeing her and listening to her stories, talking with her was always enjoyable. Barbara will be missed by many including myself.
