I worked with Barbara for many years at SRS. She was a source of information about the workings of SRS. Know each of you will miss her.
My prayers and thoughts with Shelly and your family. May the Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you during this time. Kev (East HS 77)
I told Barbara every time I saw her that I loved her. How could I not? She was so dear.
I had the honor and privilege to work with Ms. Barb here recently. During our short time together we had several laughs and conversations about life, work, her kids and her grand-dog. How Charlie would steal cookies and cake, how he learned how to open the door with the pull cord and got out of her apartment…Barb was a true blessing for and to me. I will miss her smile and laugh. Rest well my dear friend!
Shelley I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. May god hold you in his arms during this difficult time. Love, debra horchem dickerhoff.
Janna and family –
What a dear woman your mom was. It has been many years since I had seen her but have many fun memories of her from my prior life. Hugs to all of you.
Prayers for your loss. I remember her fondly from Dellrose. May she Rest in Peace.
I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to Barbaras family for their loss. She was a gentle, positive person with a lot of integrity. My best personal memory of Barbara was when she helped me with my mom. She was very supportive of my decision to move her to California. That made all the difference in my difficult decision and journey. Love, Connie Terrell
I worked with Barbara for years at SRS and weve continued our friendship through our retiree luncheons. She was a very nice lady. I know she will be missed.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
