Barbara was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. She was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

Growing up, she was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. She instilled in us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right. Our mother was a true role model who we will always look up to. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Momma, you will always be in our hearts and we will never forget you. We love you so much. Rest in peace.
