Barbara was a devoted member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Enumclaw, WA, where she found solace and community. She cherished her faith and the values it instilled in her. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity.

In her free time, Barbara enjoyed various hobbies including reading, cooking, sewing, and shopping. Barbara loved traveling to Maui where she and Wayne would vacation for weeks at a time.

The islands held a special place in her heart as that is where they honeymooned fifty-six years ago.
