Barb was known as a lively and talkative person. She never met a stranger and had the gift of gab. She enjoyed spending her downtime at the Findlay AMVETS, where she loved listening to whatever band was playing. Barb was also very passionate about her Soaps. Her family knew not to call until after 2 p.m. when her shows were finished. Barb also enjoyed going out to eat. But her favorite activity was spending time with family. She loved going to her grandchildren's sports and band events. Barb's lively and kind personality will be greatly missed by her loving family.
