Survivors include her husband, of over 57 years, George, of Bridgeville; her daughter, Carlie and husband James Wahl of Lewes; and her son, Kevin of Rehoboth. Barbara, a 1950 graduate of Milton High School, became a Registered Nurse, receiving her training at Wilmington Memorial Hospital. She worked at both Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and Milford Memorial Hospital. Upon her retirement, she quickly embarked on another venture, receiving her B.S.

An outgoing person, Barbara enjoyed her family and many friends and neighbors. She was active in Our Lady of Lourdes Church as a lector. Other activities included Women Supporting Women and the Wellness Community, thoroughly enjoying her Tai-Chi sessions with other cancer survivors.
