I worked with Barb at Memorial 1 Center for many years. She always worked hard. She used to make everyone a gift at Christmas. She was always so thoughtful and kind. My condolences to her family.

I worked with Barb at Memorial, she was the secretary on 1Center and I worked in X-Ray. She was very good at her job and always very helpful! I enjoyed working with her and she always had the 1Center nurses station decorated for the holidays. May she rest in peace and my prayers are with her family.

I worked with Barb on 1 Center at Memorial Hospital for almost a decade. She played a big part on helping me grow and learn. She is missed and I think of her often.

My Condolence to Barb's family. I am so sorry for your loss I was just thinking about her the other day. I went to Freeburg High School with her. We were friends in high school.

I had worked with Barb at Memorial Hospital many years. I remember she always made holidays festive with decorations and making sure all staff had a Christmas stocking and goodie’s in them. She also had small hand made gifts for all and was the keeper of the 1 Center scrapbook. Her kindness was felt by many. My sympathy to her family.
