Barbara was a faithful, lifetime member of the Catholic Church. She was happiest at the beach, amongst flowers, surrounded by friends and family, or any combination of all three. Her open, non-judgmental heart meant that everyone she met became an immediate friend and all were included in her care and support.
Barbara gave charitably of her time and wealth to many individuals and organizations, and was an enthusiastic supporter of the arts. She loved animals, both great and small, and made her backyard a haven for winged creatures.
Barbara was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Memorials may be made in Barbara's name to the
Humane Society of St. Louis or to the
National Audubon Society.
