The world lost one of its sweetest souls.

Barbara was also a passionate animal lover who cared deeply for all crea tures, great and small. Her home was a haven for pets, and her compassion extended beyond her family to every living being she encountered.
Her warmth, wisdom, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She had a rare ability to make others feel at ease and ofered comfort and encouragement to everyone who crossed her path. Her legacy is one of love, generosity, and a life well-lived.
