Those that knew her well recognized she was a person of high moral character and a Christian. She was an avid tennis player and enjoyed a wonderful relationship with her “tennis friends”. Barbara and Bernie loved to travel and enjoyed many unique adventures together including dog sledding, snowmobiling, boat excursion, ski trips, etc.
