Barbara was a friend from Scipio Presbyterian Church. I loved chatting with them before church. She had the sweetest and most loving smile. Although she had a lot of sad. Experiences in her life with the loss of daughters she always was concerned for others and made it a point to care. Loved being with her. My deepest sympathy to Larry and family in your loss. May God keep You in His care and give you comfort. Carolyn Byford

I rarely visit The Republic website but for some reason, and found this word…about this dear person. I remember how kind, how gracious, and how filled with goodness Barbara was. I remember her quiet faith that supported her though Pam’s loss. I remember what an excellent partner she was to Larry, her love for her children and grandchildren. Rest well friend. May God bless you all. Peace.
