She lived in Rocky River, Ohio, New Orleans, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, and Montreal while working for Eastern. Upon retiring she moved to Ellijay, GA in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. While there she sold antiques, worked for a veterinarian, and food services at Blue Ridge Hospital. While working in the hospital, she spent her free time holding the babies in the nursery. While there she met a beautiful little lady named Mystical Hope. Since her birth mother could not care for her, Barbara became her foster parent for the next 3 years and then adopted her in 2005.
