Barbara lived her life for her children and grandchildren, she was loved and will be greatly missed by all.
In the early years of their marriage, mom and dad spent many summers with the family at Wasaga Beach. They enjoyed their road trips to Florida, Branson MO, Wheeling WV and down east to name a few. Mom was definitely born to be a mother; her spirit, generosity and acceptance were unconditional.
