Barbara was an amazing lady! I worked with her at Haaff elementary school in the media center. She was always happy and smiling and loved the children at Haaff. She will be missed by many.
What an amazing life she lived…didn’t see her often, but she was always so sweet and kind when we did. I loved her smile. Wishing peace and comfort to Linda, Cindy and Scott and all those she loved.
