I met Barbs sister some fifty years ago. Still beleive she was so pretty and one of the nicest people I have ever knew until my wife I met her sister Barb at a company Christmas dinner. She was fun to be around and along with her husband Andy earned my respect from the beginning. I was lucky to have a phone conversation with Barb where we shared some laughs and I could see both Barb and Carla shared some of the same qualities.
Nancy, thank you for your kind words. I’ll bet Barb and Andy were playing Bingo!
Regards, Carla
Barb was such a wonderful lady, she will definitely be missed by many! My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
I will cherish the time I got to know Barb. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I remember so well Barbara and Andy from the Commission on Aging. I never knew her sister Carla was one of my classmates from the TRHS Class of 1970.
I always admired Barbs beautiful smile and loving personality!
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
