Pueblo West, Colorado
Barbara Joyce Corente passed away June 10, 2024. Barbara was born in California, the middle child of Nick and Gloria Corente. While raised in California, she spent a good portion of her adult life in Washington state where she enjoyed the mountains, the rain, and the green. Gardening was Barbara’s great passion in life and her gardens will live on after her. She was a strong willed woman who had compassion for those in need. Barbara is survived by her husband, Michael Moore; her sisters, Tina Johnson and Linda Silvey; and her nieces, Christy and Melonie Beem, Andrea Regino, Jennifer Rodenbucher, and Samantha Witt. Barbara is also survived by her friend for life, Barbara Hakimian. Not to be left out are her birds, Mr. Grey, Marty, Bobby, and Buster. They were her kids. Barbara will be cremated at Montgomery & Steward in Pueblo and her ashes will be scattered in the mountains at a later date.
I worked with Barb for a short time. She was such a kind and welcoming soul. I will remember her fondly. I’m so sorry to her family and loved ones. She was a good one. ♥
Barbara I didn’t want you to go but God had other plans for you. Please know that I love you , you will always be my sister. Thank you for being a caring sister to me and for the great conversations we had the last couple of years. Thank you for telling me you loved me the last couple of times we talked I will cherish it forever. I will miss you my dear sister until we meet again. I love you, Tina
Barbara, when you came back into our family, Michael was the happiest we had ever seen him. You both manage to create a personal oasis that was to be your forever home. Rest assured, we will be here for Michael. Our fondest memory we have was watching and seeing the joy you and Michael gave to our granddaughter at Christmas. It was truly a wonderful moment. May you rest in peace. You will be missed.
We may have only met a few times but I know you love Mike very deeply. I will always remember you as a strong willed and the love of uncle Mike’s life. I will always remember the beautiful gardens you created in Washington and Colorado. Rest in Peace and I know when the time comes you will greet uncle Mike with open arms in Heaven.
Barbara, We have been family for decades but we have only had a few short years to really get to know each other. We should have had more. Your strength in this last year has been inspiring and I believe you’ll be waiting with open arms many years from now when Mike joins you in heaven. Rest in peace. Tracy and Sabrina
