We will ALL miss Barb, she was the glue that held our friends together. Always thinking of others, putting them first. Barb was always ready to have a good time, bowling, floating river, bbq's, parties, whatever, she was ready to go. We had so many good times, I will always remember that smile and those great times. We love you Barb and Bonnie and family, so sorry for your loss.

To Barb‘s family and friends, My heart goes out to you for the loss of this wonderful soul. I was lucky enough to have worked with her from the AG Edwards days through the Wells Fargo advisors days. Barb never met a stranger. She always had a smile on her face and was one of the kindest, friendliest people I know. She was one of my go to people whenever I needed direction and didn’t know where else to go. She was very resourceful, approachable, and always willing to lend a helping hand. I hope you can find comfort and peace in all the memories you shared. I know I will. Rest in peace, sweet friend. You will be remembered fondly. No more pain and suffering, but gone too soon. You remain unforgettable! God bless. I will miss your smiling face. Your friend, DIANE WENTZEL

I've had the privilege of knowing Barb for over 25+ years (from our A.G. Edwards days till now WFA days). She was very sweet and always talked about her garden, flowers, sports/baseball, and her cat. Barb was a beautiful sole; and wherever a beautiful sole has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family. May GOD wrap his arms around the family & friends and give everyone peace in knowing that she is resting and is no longer suffering. Again, my heartfelt condolence, thoughts and prayers are with you.
