Barbara worked for 29 years at the Morrow County Hospital, in 2008 she decided it was time to slow down and retired so that she could enjoy time with her family. Barbara with her husband enjoyed their days worshiping at The Seventh-Day Adventist Church of Bucyrus, where Barbara was a long-standing member.
If you knew Barbara, you knew that she liked things in order, she would spend countless hours making sure that her home, and her flower beds were in pristine condition for all those who drove by or visited. In her down time, Barbara enjoyed crocheting, and working on her word puzzles. Barbara also had a competitive side, never wanting to lose while playing cards or dominoes.
Barbara's family was always her main priority, and her love for them was endless.
