Barbara, who was known to all as "Pete", was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was loved by all who knew her as a generous and kind-hearted soul who was always ready with a kind word and a smile. She was quick witted, fun loving and was considered the 'life of the party'. "Pete" was known by all as an excellent cook who enjoyed serving Sunday dinners to family and friends. One of her most endearing traits was her kindness and consideration of others and her willingness to put others before herself. She was a Baptist and held faith in Jesus Christ. Pete will be remembered and loved, and she will be missed by many.
