Although I only knew Dennis and Susan, it seems she will be dearly missed by her supportive family. Losing a Mother is very difficult but as time goes by little reminders will bring a smily to your faces.
So sorry to know that dearest Barb has passed & returned to our creator. We’ve known her for so long & treasure the many memories & times we’ve shared together with my brother, Wayne, & his daughter, Kelly Ann. She will be missed by the entire Native community & treasured for all she has accomplished. Many condolences to her family & dear friends, Pam & Bob Rice
Sending love and hugs to Barbara’s family. She was a strong woman, may her energy surround all that miss her.
Barb was a one of a kind co-worker, woman and most importantly friend. She was beautiful inside and out. I am very privileged to have had her in my life. Wherever she went she left a joy and a sparkle that uplifted all those she came into contact with. Truly a friend to our Native American community who opened doors and expanded knowledge about the truth of our culture and heritage. Her contribution was heartfelt, sincere and greatly appreciated. We will miss your smile, laughter and light. Your wonderful family will continue to shine with the light you so lovingly gave them. Rest well dear friend you are greatly missed and loved.
Sorry to hear about Barbara, I worked with her at R-H and she was a great lady and was good to everyone, always had a smile. Sincerely,
Barb,
I will always remember your joyful spirit and laughter. You touched so many lives.
Rest in peace and continue sharing your stories and spirit will all you have gathered with. Thank you for all you have shared with the world.
