Barbara was intelligent, thoughtful and had a great sense of humor. She loved her work at the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, and retired from Washington State University Cooperative Extension. 

She enjoyed retirement traveling to numerous countries, and volunteering with several organizations. She had a passion for opera, reading, art, music, dogs, horses and horse racing; sometimes she’d even place a small bet! Her backyard was her oasis, where she loved to relax and read or visit with friends. She always offered tea and a homemade treat. 

She was woven into the fabric of her beloved West Seattle community. She was an active member of the Admiral Congregational United Church of Christ. 

Our family would like to extend deep gratitude to those at Sunshine Care for their loving care and attention to our Mother in the last couple of years. She was loved by so many and will be missed dearly.
