Barbara was an amazing, happy, loving, full of energy and joy person. But she was strict and she had patients like a saint. She was down to earth kind of person and not afraid to let you know what she thought about you if you got on her bad side. Her favorite was her nephew Mark Coomey she loved him more then anything! She also loved her family, friends, God, animals and gardening. She will be missed forever and always loved.
