Barbara resided in Hammond, Louisiana until recently moving to Lafayette, Louisiana to be cared for by her children. Barbara was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She was a devout Christian and an avid reader. Barbara enjoyed music, movies, travel, and more recently, specialty grocery stores. However, Barbara’s greatest joy was spending time with her three grandchildren. Barbara cherished the time visiting with and playing computer games with Cameron. She was extremely proud of the remarkable young lady, Payton, had become, and she loved attending birthday parties for her youngest granddaughter, Madison. Barbara enjoyed holiday celebrations with her family which often included the extended family. Many times, these celebrations incorporated games that Barbara embraced with her competitive nature. Barbara’s kindness was demonstrated in 2005 when she moved in with her ailing mother to provide around the clock care to her until her death. Her loyalty and devotion were profound examples of her true nature. In her younger years, Barbara spent countless hours creating beautiful dolls with crocheted dresses that she gave to her children, grandchildren, and nieces. Barbara will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her kind heart and good nature. Rest in peace, Barbara. We love you.
