Barbara was an assistant treasurer at Empire of America Bank for 25 years before taking an early retirement and moving to Sarasota, Florida. She had a caregiver business for six years.

She met the love of her life in 1997, and married him in 2000. The two of them moved to Georgia and South Carolina for a short time, where they bought a mountain chalet. They loved living up there in the clouds. They returned to Florida in 2004.

She loved her family very much, and was a good friend to many.

Remember the good times.
