Condolence: I met Barb many years ago at an event she hosted at Joanne's for Home Economics teachers. She was so friendly and I always looked forward to seeing her when I would go in to shop. She always recognized me and would ask about school. Such a kind and caring person. I was sorry to see that she passed away. Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Shannon Stutzman, retired East Holmes teacher

Condolence: Michael and Family, You have our sympathies. We are so sorry for your loss. I remember Barb always being so kind and helpful at JoAnn's over the years. She was also an asset to our Sunday School class and we have missed her these last several years. May God grant you the grace and strength you need to go forward without her. Our best to you all and may you see His blessings in the years to come. Mike and Catherine Kauffman from Church of the Saviour

Condolence: I graduated with Barbara's son Mike and I just wanted to say that I am terribly sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sending lots of love. - Lesley Biddle

Condolence: Just wanted to send a short note. I did not know Barb very well, but had met her at JoAnns probably 30+ years ago. Barb was checking me out, and I realized I had forgotten my checkbook. She volunteered to pay for my purchases, and I could pay her back at my next visit to the store which I did. I have always remembered her kindness because I was a complete stranger to her. I had seen her through the years at JoAnns always with a smile willing to help anyone that needed help. She was definitely a special lady. May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort. My deepest sympathy sent to Barbs family. Sincerely, IA

Condolence: So sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to you and your boys. Pam and Larry Mowrer
