The last 5 years of her life was spent with her son Mark, and Ronnie in Brookings Oregon, spending time living on both the Chetco river and the Oregon coast, surrounded by an abundance of flowers, wildlife, and love. Barbara loved fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden, canning, cooking, and baking, joyously sharing with others. She also loved music and playing the piano, which included playing the piano in churches. Above all she loved reading the Holy Bible and placed it in her heart, actually living by its principles. She was a beacon of strength, and love, and had compassion for everyone regardless of their affiliations or their past. She believed whole-heartedly in being kind to all and bringing peace to the world through each and every thought and action she did in her entire life.
