A Celebration of Life will be conducted at a later date. In lieu of flowers, an act of kindness to someone in Barbara's memory is appreciated. She was the Matriarch to all who knew her, and she lit up every room...truly the life of the party; and just like her favorite man, Frank Sinatra, she did it her way.
