Aunt Barb gave the best hugs! She was a caring person, loved crafts (and was great at them), really good at sending out birthday and holiday cards, loved her family especially Marcie! She will be so missed!
Barbara and I met in 1985 at the Hallmark store in the outlet mall in Broken Arrow. She became a very close family friend not only to myself but also to my children. She made my oldest daughter‘s wedding dress as well as the bridesmaids dresses for the wedding. She also made my youngest son‘s bridesmaids dresses for his wedding. The most important thing is Barbara was always somebody special I could talk to and talk to whatever I was dealing with at the time. She holds s very special place in my heart. I will always love her.
I first met Barbara 'Mom' when I was just 11 years old when they moved into our neighborhood and she began selling Avon. She would come in and visit with my Mom and me and get to know us as a family and our life-long friendship began there. She was always so kind and caring and never missed an opportunity to provide support and encouragement. She was also my first 'boss lady' at the Card Circus in the old Outlet Mall in Broken Arrow and taught me so much about work ethic, customer service and people skills. She made me the most beautiful Senior Prom dress using a basic pattern and then using her creativity and sewing genius to add all the fluff and color a 1987 prom dress required! She also made the most beautiful bridesmaid dresses for us for Marcie's wedding. Barbara was one of my biggest supporters and encouragers and she helped me through some tough times by just being there with a smile and listening. I am truly blessed to be one of her 'other daughters'. Barb - I love you and miss you!
I met Barbara through the Green Country Angel Society in Tulsa, OK. We had a Christmas Party in which we exchanged gifts. My gift was a 6 piece placemat set for my table. Barbara made them herself. I loved them so much I asked Barbara to make me 6 more so I could have a 12 placemat setting. She did this but would not let me pay her for them. This is Barbara to the T: Very compassionate, caring and giving. I will miss her so much! I will treasure the placemats forever! My prayers are with her family! May God keep all of you close to him and may he watch over you during this time. Katherine Williams and Mary Stella Garcia-in Grants Pass, Oregon
