Barbara’s family also included many people that were not blood relatives but she truly loved them as though they were.
She moved to Chattanooga over 50 years ago and was very active in her community. She loved gardening, yard-sales, and having coffee at local cafes. She truly loved life and will be missed by all those that loved her.
