Barbara enjoyed listening to Elton John, Elvis and the Everly Brothers during their road trips. In 2017, Barbara and Bill family decided to move to Oklahoma for a new adventure.
Barbara was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 65 and passed away from cancer, which she was recently diagnosed with. She was greatly loved by her husband, children, family, and friends and will be greatly missed.
