A Memorial Service will be held at Carson-Speaks Chapel at 1501 West Lexington Avenue in Independence, Missouri on August 29th at 2pm. Visitation with the family is from 1pm to 2pm.

Barbara was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. She had a spunky personality and made everyone laugh. She never got a black belt in karate, she didn't invent Silly Putty, and she didn't even win the World Champion Flamingo Plucking Contest, so the list of "tangible awards" are few. But no one could ever doubt the love she had for her family, and that will live on in our hearts forever. She will be missed by all who loved her in her life that was far too short on this earth.
