I attended church with Barbara for many years. She was one of my favorite ladies in the church. Always a smile on her face and very caring. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy to her family.

Condolences to the family. We bought the house to the south of Barbara's in 1983 after returning to the U.S. from a ministry stint in Canada. She had family who lived and managed a business in Camrose, AB, Canada where we lived for 4 years. This made our relationship very special. We helped, comforted, shopped, did yard work, chatted and sent e-mails through these years since. Her indomitable faith and radiant sunshiny positive attitude have blessed our family. My parents lived in our house for about a year before my father died. My mother and Barbara were good friends as well.We miss her. Sp, this was a generational relationship. Our daughter picked weeds and flowers for her art work. Drove by the house Friday, looked, then turned my eyes upward as we will do from today on. Blessings and comfort to all of you.

Barb was family to me not just a neighbor. Her faith in God so strong and her love for people and helping intense. I work my way through this shock and grief with years worth of memories of our phone calls and visits. The forced move I had to do last fall was very difficult to give up my wonderful friends on the block, I still can't imagine her not over there cooking in her home and getting everything done as she did. Always taking care of everyone and so involved in her church and events all over and so social. Never lacking to give God credit and always saying "I'm blessed!" I pray for all her family and friends now missing her, this is an end to a beautiful person in the earth and things will never be the same. I was to visit her soon this fall before her Birthday and was so looking forward because covid has been a long suffering for many in isolation including me. Having just spoken on the phone before she died she was a sharp as ever talking about everything. Renee P / Tulsa Oklahoma
For the best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for, I am going through the motions of your leaving us. I know you loved life, cared for everyone, always doing for others and I am so sad for this event and the shock of the situation. Can't imagine you not cooking in your kitchen, and since I moved from being able to be your neighbor last year it's not been the same and I enjoyed every phone call we had since my move. Hated being gone from you next door and not being able to help anymore. My thoughts are with the entire family son and everyone else and I can't say enough about my love for you and what you gave me in life from your friendship and care for me. I cry my way through each day adjusting to the reality. Thousands of memories flood my mind of the stories you told, your cooking, being in your house, allowing me anything from your yard I wanted for my art work... Your famous choc sheet cake you made last fall right before I moved and broc salad Barb missed you when I moved and was looking forward to visiting you soon. I celebrate you in the memories I have and your faith was super strong, you were the most positive individual ever. This seems not real being I just talked to you right before. Prayers to everyone and we cry for us. Thank you Jesus for the gift of you to me and your faith in Christ. With covid and my move I barely have info about anything but am pleased to find this online to reach out to share what you meant to me. Rene'e Palos / Tulsa
Have many happy memories of Barbara, some of the best with the “Singles” group at St Matthews. She was always a gracious hostess and loved to play dominoes. We laughed together, cried together, and traveled together some. Even though we had not seen each other often, she will be missed! Warren, Marie, and other family and friends must be rejoicing with her and the angels in heaven! She touched many many lives.
