My sincere condolences to my cousin Barbara's family. Occasionally, we ran into each other at the grocery store and caught up on life. I'm sorry she passed so young. My thoughts are with her family. May she rest in peace. Diane DeLuca

Although Barb and I lost touch in our adult years we did reconnect for a while during Mom's illness.She took her to some of her doctor appointments which I so appreciated.My fond memories of her go way back when we were kids.We spent many afternoons together having lunch and playing games.We got along so well that Mom and Dad invited her to spend weekends with us and summer vacations which I looked forward to because it was like having a sister.We would stay up late talking about boys and just being silly and laughing all night.We never ran out of things to say or do.We even went to New York to see a Broadway play which I never forgot because the cast dropped their towels and Aunt Virge,who had no idea that was going to happen,quickly covered our eyes in horror!Gram looked like a deer in the headlights...lol!I miss those days.I will always remember Barbara as a kind and loving person who always extended herself to others just like her Mom did.I know she was loved by many.My condolences to Lou,Amy,Laura,Steve,Bryan,Pat and Floyd.My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Barb was the most amazing woman. I feel honored to have known her.
So kind, so generous,so compassionate...on all her roles: mother, grandmother, wife, teacher....friend. . She touched so many lives ...and made such a difference, She will be sorely missed. My sympathy to all her family and friends. We were so lucky to have had her in our lives.

Uncle Lou, Bryan, Stephen, Amy & Laura,
Our deepest condolences to you all. May God give you strength today and all the days to come. Hold all of your special memories you shared close to your hearts. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
Anyone who met and got to have Aunt Barb in their lives was really lucky. She was a beautiful person inside and out and had so much love to give. I’m going to miss her messages or calls with either happy birthday, photos or seeing how we are doing. I remembered asking her for her Neapolitan cookie recipe; she messaged me to see how they turned out. She would host our Christmas Eves and they would be to perfection. I was lucky enough to have her open her home for my tea party bridal shower which was perfect; all her antiques and beautiful decor that fit the scene wonderfully. She made me my beautiful tea party hat along with the most beautiful crocheted piece for my cake stand. I’m going to miss hearing from you and the random messages and pictures that we would send back and forth. I admire your strength and power to keep going. We will miss you and love you so much!!! May you rest in peace. Love,
Curt, Melissa, Margaret & Curt Jr.

To my brother Louis, nieces and nephews Bryan, Stephen, Amy and Laura
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Barbara was the best sister in law anyone could ever have. We loved our get togethers
especially around the holidays. Our Christmas Eve at your home always brought the families together. Barbara’s desserts were the best.
Barbara was always there to help family and friends, whether cooking, baking or sewing. She was so talented.
Our only comfort with Barbara’s passing is she is at peace now and not in pain. It still hurts so much knowing we can’t see her but will always keep her in our hearts and prayers.
Our condolences also go out to Pat and Floyd.
Love, Joanne and Ernie

Where to start? One of the kindest, good-hearted individuals I have ever had the pleasure to call my friend. A true blessing from God. Barbara, thank you for supporting me through some of the worst times in my life. I will treasure those memories forever! Your love radiated from your heart, just as it did from your beautiful mother. I am honored that I got to know you and your family.
Your spirit and personality will live on in the wonderful stories of your life, your beautiful family and the love you shared with everyone you encountered.
My deepest sympathies to Lou and your kids, to Floyd and Pat. It has been an absolute honor to be a part of your family all these years.
Your fight is over now, healed and whole. Home. Greeted, I'm sure, by many who've gone before you and loved you dearly.
Wishing you all peace in this most difficult time.

Barbara was my Zumba instructor... both Italian and both born in April, we became fast friends.
She took a keen interest in her Zumba class participants; knew which ones needed to worry
about their knees or shoulders and watched &
coached them carefully, even teaching when she had her own knee issues.
We had many talks about our children; sharing our worries, but also our hopes & dreams for them.
She loved her family SO!
Dancing in Barbara's class were some of my happiest memories; I always smiled looking at her at the front of the room.
You couldn't help but smile... she was always so positive and energetic and made it extra fun!
I know she is leading a Zumba class in heaven always with her great music choices.
I only had the privilege of knowing Barbara for a few short years, but I will truly cherish those memories.
My deepest condolences to Lou and the family she loved so much.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Sauer
