She graduated from All Saints Catholic Church and School, Detroit.
She was a bookkeeper and secretary for Symm Duck Farm and Kelly Services as an office personnel replacement. She retired in 1998.

She always had a fun-loving personality. She loved a good meal, a good game of cards and a good laugh, even if it was at her own expense! She was a good friend, a caring mother and a devoted wife.
A private celebration of Barbara’s life with family and friends will take place at a later date. Pastor Chris Thereau will officiate the celebration of life.
