Our beloved Grammy AKA Barbara was a one of a kind and loved by many!
We have fond memories of Barbara at our home in Charleston, SC while visiting Rob, Maura and family.
Thanksgiving was always special having Barbara at our home.
She was quick to pitch in to help and spent hours chatting with everyone by the bonfire.
Her special assignment was lovingly serving pies after our Thanksgiving feast. This assignment will now be passed to Kaitlyn, who adored Grammy in every way!
Rest in Peace Barbara. We loved you dearly! You will always hold a special place at our Thanksgiving table ♥️
So sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. I have fond memories of spending many Christmas gatherings in Amherst. RIP Cousin Barbara.
Rest in Peace! My parents wedding anniversary was June 15th….so they welcomed her to her new world.
As David said, I have many special memories of the 4 cousins especially in December. Gail decorating the Christmas tree, Joyce sharing her December birthday with the holidays, Barbara, Miriam and of course Uncle Bob and Aunt Midge hosting a great gathering.

I worked at the Amherst Police Department as a Police Officer for many years. Barbara was a nice lady who always had a few minutes to chat. I am so sorry to learn of her passing, may she rest in peace.
So sad to hear of cousin Barbara’s passing, with fond memories of growing up close together. Quiet, thoughtful and kind, she managed her life with grace, hard work and love of God, family and friends. Sympathy to Miriam, Gail and Joyce, who will miss her from their tight group of loving sisters.
Barbara was my friend for a long time. I was her stylist for many years
And we had so many great conversations. She would be my last client, and we would have cheese and crackers, and a Manhattan.
I loved her loving nature and her sense of humor.
We had so many laughs together!
Rest in peace, Barbara, much love
To you and your family.♥️
