I  had tried to contact Barbara over the years with no results. I was searching this morning and I'm so saddened to see that she had passed.  I worked with her for approximately 3 to 4 years at Riverside Medical Clinic Pediatrics and thoroughly enjoyed her--we laughed together and supported each other. I left Riverside Medical Clinic in 1989 and returned to Oregon.  Over the years I have thought of her and her family wondering how she was doing  I am happy to read that her family seem to be doing well and that she enjoyed her grandchildren.  I knew and know from talking to her that she greatly loved Jaime, Chad, and John and was proud of all of you.  I also enjoyed visiting with her mother Audrey  and remember her father Ernie. Best wishes to all of you. Cassandra Suess (formerly Sandi Davies)

Thank you god for all the beautiful days you gave us with Barbra. I thought I was going to be very upset when she passed. But my only tears, are tears of joy and greatfullness. I cannot think of her without a huge smile on my face. So much fun, so much laughter, so much love. I loved the little trips we had over the years. Sea World, the zoo/Griffith park, Canters, the football games, Round Table,the beach, and of course, the many movies we watched. My favorite time, "Magic Mike". That was a fun night. There was always a large crowd following, having the time of their lives. Oh yeah, all the games of screw your nieghbor. She always called me the "B" word with such love. Greatful: I will be forever greatful for so many things when it comes to Barbra. Thankful for showing me how to be the best grandma, mother, wife, and friend. Thankful for all the infectious laughter. Thankful for including us in all the little adventures. Thankful for making my family apart of her family. Thankful for all the love she shared. That was also infectious. Thankful for the chance to help in any little way in the last few months. And also thankful for anytime I got to spend with one of my favorite people in my life.    Thank you god, for this beautiful gift named "Barb".

John and family; know that Barb will always be missed and you are all loved. I am blessed to have known her and know that I am here for you. God bless you and don't forget Corona John!. Always, Linda Frey

John and Family my prayers and thoughts are with you. Barbara had so much love for her family and friends. I am very greatful to have met such a wonderful person as Barbara. I will always remember the stories and fun we shared in Pediatrics. Especially all the phone calls we had to make to John when he worked across the street when Barbara got herself in a little jam every so often. She has left us all with the best memories that we will cherish forever.

To John and all your family-please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. Barbara will surely be missed by all that knew her. Take comfort in your family that surrounds you.
 The Swink Family

Miss Barbara, You will be missed by many. I worked with Barbara at RMC for many years in many different positions. She worked very hard at her job, however, she could always find time for a laugh or a....Snort. Some of my favorite memories with her were at the RMC Christmas parties. I remember One year we were trying to teach her about jello shooters.....We laughed until we cried...So much fun. Thanks for the memories. Rest in Peace, my friend. My condolences to your family.

"Barb was the best Supervisor/mentor I was blessed to work with at RMC- Corona."  I will always cherish the moments she and I would hold our meetings outside on the bench table.  The most important thing Barb always shared was the love and glow on her face when she would speak of John and the family. My thoughts and prayers to The Richardson Family.

To John and family please accept our sincere condolences.  Tom & Marilyn Toth, Tommy & Kristi Calderon, Manuel & Julie Alvarez and families.  Barbara will surely be missed by all. God Bless

There 's a place i've never been since beyone this world we know,  A place i've only heard of but some day hope to go,  its not on any map: there are no roads to take me there but it's a place of perfect peace where hearts are free form care. And though i understand some may be saddened when i leave, one day we will all meet again, that's when i believe, when it's time to travel there i think i'll wear a smile, i'll say goodbye to those i love, but only for a while. knowing there are others who have traveled there alone, who cannot wait to greet me and to whisper "welcome home" -Author Unknown-  Barbara you are missed by many i am so glad i got to know you!

I worked with Barbara at RMC. She was a wonderful women who loved her family very much. She made with laugh everyday with one of her stories. We would laugh so hard she would snort. When I hear a Elvis song I will always think about you. My condolence to the Richardson family.. Rest in peace.

Barbara was always Bling, Gold and Elvis. She loved to have a good time and could make anyone smile. She was always there to lend an ear or a shoulder if you needed one. Barbara welcomed me with open arms on my first day at work and we became friends very quickly. Many early hours, late nights and trips to the "Dark side" as she would call it. Even after her leaving RMC we talked often and got together when we could. I had the pleasures of visiting her a few weeks before her passing, she was all smiles, and her passion for family was just as strong as always. She will be dearly missed. She was dear to my heart and always be remembered. Barbara I know your are hosting the biggest Bling/party with Elvis and he is singing your favorite songs just for you.

The Fourth of July won't be the same without Barb. I'd walk in to find her preparing food in the kitchen with Jaime or hanging out in the pool with her grandchildren. She always greeted me with a big smile and hug. She was one of the most loving people I'd ever met. I'll miss her energy and wonderful sense of humor. I know she's wreaking havoc up there.  Rest in peace Barb.

I met Barbara and her family shortly after them moved to Riverside.  They lived next to some very dear friends.  Barbara soon was baby-sitting my 3 girls.  She was wonderful with them and they all remembered her fondly.  Our thoughts and prayers to her family.  Barbara Johnson (Moreno Valley, CA)

Barbara and I had side by side offices when we were at the Main Clinic on Arlington.  As Supervisor we had to share our day and daily reponsibilities  of the clinic.  I got to know Barbara (and John) very well.  I remember the breaks together with the  group and we would laugh till we cried.  I'll miss her greatly.

A big smile, laugh and then a snort- that is Barbara.  I worked with Barb at RMC for 24 years, she was always looking for a good time and best of every person she met.  I remember a United Fund drive and a pickle spitting contest.  Barb laughed every time a person stepped up to the line.  We shall miss you Barbara and all the fun you brought to life.  Farewell, and keep the Angels laughing.

I worked with Barbara for many years at RMC.  She always brought sunshine to everyone she met.  She was the life of the party.  She will be missed by all.  I know that her family meant the world to her.  My condolences to the Richardson Family.

Memories of Barbara - Indian Hills Swim Team - red and white; Round Table Pizza on Friday night; Thrifty ice cream cones (double scoop, of course); football games, swim meets, Carrow's sampler platter.  Thanks for the memories. . .
Our condolences, love and support to John, Jaime, Chad and their families.

I am so sorry for this great loss to the Richardson family. I only met Barbara a couple of times, but I clearly remember her fantastic smile! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am glad I got to be a part Barbara's life. I remember visiting her house on 4th of July when all the kids were little and swimming with them. Being the step-daughter of her sister-in-law, Marti Noyes, I got to share some of the Richardson's holiday time. The last time I saw her was at Rachel's wedding. It was great to reconnect. I always remember her being very friendly,happy and always laughing. So sorry for the family's loss.

I worked with Barbara at Riverside medical clinic for many years. I always remember our lunches outside  cracking up until she snorted. I can't believe she is gone My heart goes out To Her family

We have known Barbara for more than 25 years, our kids grew up together,, we also vacationed together.  We have a lot of fond memories of Barbara, from her clothes, to coordinating shoes, to her first horseback ride in Tahoe complete with  a stick and a scarf in her hair!  She will always have a special place in our hearts.  RIP our dear friend.

I will never forget you Barbara. Even though I had moved I thought of you and John often. You always made me laugh, especially doing your nails for all the themed occasions. You were one special lady. Also a lot of special memory's with Jamie and the hard time you would give John when he would come to pick you up from your appt. We had some great times. Rest in peace my friend.

I will always remember how warm, welcoming, and full of enthusiasm Barbara was. She always had a sparkle in her eye, and of course some on her jewelry! Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss, on behalf of the Waters family.

Barbara has been a family friend for over 20 years. Her loving and fun memories will ever be remembered through endless years of swim team and of course those epic 4th of July parties. I remember Barb has a loving and caring person, and the life of the party. Spending countless hours in her kitchen (and pool!), and on the pool-deck, Barb is a friend whom will never be forgotten. Her and the Richardson family were an extension of ours... and helped create a memorable and fun childhood.
