Dedicated to animal welfare from her youth, she took wonderful care of her pet cats and also enjoyed feeding the many friendly woodland creatures around her home.
Barbara was devoted to her family (particularly her precious grandchildren!) and was always at her happiest when in their joyful company. She will be sadly and deeply missed by the many people who loved and admired her."In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, June H. Lowe.
