Barb's passion was caring for others and doing the Lord's work. She loved spending time with her family; camping, fishing, vacationing and playing bingo. She cherished her time at our family reunions and coordinated many of them. She was a member of Honey Creek Church in Greenwood and tried not to miss Sunday service to spend time with her church family. She loved dogs and had a special bond with each of them she owned including Bonnie, pictured with her.
