Barbara married the love of her life, James "Jim" F. Breen in 1952. She and Jim retired early to travel around the country in their RV together and sometimes with a group of fellow travelers called the Pelican Travelers. She liked to play cards with friends and family.
Barbara was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was the type of mother that sewed all her kids clothes and made homemade cookies for her children after school. She always had a meal on the table each night for her family. She was dedicated to her family and her faith.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Liz Lanier (Vance), Barbara Crews and Theresa Kilby (Donald); her grandchildren, Sean Lanier (Ashley), Chase Kilby (Hailee), Micah Lanier, Taylor Crews and Tucker Crews; her great grandchildren, Amelia Lanier, Rylee Kilby and Everlee Kilby along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Barbara was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, James F. Breen; her son, Michael F. Breen; her parents and eight siblings.
