Barbara had a passion for all things in nature. She had a curiosity and adventurous side to see and explore all new things. Her passion was in learning and sharing that knowledge with others. Barbara loved camping and crafts as she demonstrated being the leader with her Girl Scout Troop #121 in the early ’60s.
To all of Barbara’s family, and on behalf of our family, all of who knew of, or knew Barbara personally our sincerest condolences. I will never forget her special way, passion for life, and interest in all the good things in the world. I cherish teachings she passed on when you least expected it and needed it the most. I have never known anyone who boiled over with more interest in plants, animals, concern for the environment, science, health, genealogy and so much more than Barbara! Her constitution was nothing less than extrordinary, leaving a legacy of a life well lived for us to remember. I am truly grateful to have had part of her in my life and her memory will live on in Connecticut, where large gardens are filled with peonies, daylillies, columbine and more, all from Barbara’s green thumb and knowledge of plants! You are all in our prayers, with love, Bob & Ellen
