Barbara was born on October 20, 1950 in Rochester, NY. She was always very social and had some friendships that spanned 30 years. She enjoyed going out with them to dinner or a movie. Barb also enjoyed golfing and bowling. She loved spending time with friends, some she met at work, others through church groups, and still others from LGBT senior groups.



Even though Barb loved golf, her spectator sports were also important to her. She was an avid NY Yankees and Miami Dolphins fan who loved these teams when they were doing well, but also wasn't afraid to criticize them when they were doing poorly!



Barbara was very socially active and she knew many people. No matter where she went, she would bump into a friend or acquaintance. She was greatly loved and will be missed by many people.
