Barb was a precious friend among the Wright State Theatre tribe of the early 1970s, a smiling, funny, supportive spirit around the department.  I hope to see many of the Old Faces at her wake today, to be able to honor her memory and share some laughter with those who first loved her as a stupid, young twenty-something...

Barb was and has always been my most grateful patient during her extended bout with Crohn’s disease. Years of helping her morphed into a lasting friendship long after my leaving Ohio. Many tears and cheers were shared on both sides as she taught me the true meaning of being a caring person and physician. I will miss her humor most of all. I am better by having known her.

Barb is my cousin-in-law and I have been very blessed to know her.  She endured so much but managed to have a positive spirit in spite of it all.  Definitely an inspiration to me and many others.  She surely made the world a better place!

This woman changed my life. I had liked to read before her classes but learned why I needed to read and later loved to read during and after her classes. She was full stop the main reason I went back to school to get my teaching degree at age 40 and am teaching high school in Bangkok today. I would often FB message her to get advice and tell her how my classes were going. My condolences to her family, friends, and former  students, of whom I am proud to be one. 

I was in 7th grade and somehow made it into Barb’s class for gifted kids. We did so many creative and fun things. The next two years with her gave me an appreciation for learning I have carried with me my whole life. More than that, I found a friend and champion to help guide me for the next 40 years. Thank you, Barb. 

I saw Barb for the first time when she was blowing bubbles while perched atop the brick patio wall of her apartment. So I walked over there and introduced myself. She turned out to be the craziest and most lovable friend I've ever had.
