Barbara was a family oriented person with a funny sense of humor. She was married to Wallace "Pa" for 53 years. She was very protective of her kids and grandchildren.
She was a great Mother and at times went without for her family. She loved Bingo, watching crime shows, barbecues, birthday parties and watching the Tigers with her husband.  Barbara also loved to read True Crime books. She loved watching her granddaughter in band, cheerleading or dance recitals.  She never missed her grandson's baseball games.  She was even tossed out with Carrie Miller for being too vocal at one of his games.  She was a real mama bear.
