Barbara was very helpful at our Benefit Luncheons. She was willing to offer her services for whatever task we needed done. She faithfully attended our chapter meetings as long as her health permitted. We will miss Barbara very much.

I enjoyed visiting Barbara when she was a resident of Lakeside at Willow Valley. As a very private person, she was reluctant to tell me much about her life, but she shared enough for me to know that she had worked long hours over many years for firms in Manhattan and traveled all over the world as part of that work. Her little dog Lexi, whose picture decorated her wall at Lakeside, represented family to her in the last months of her life. I found Barbara to be a very interesting person, and I miss visiting her.
