    Condolences to all her family. We were cousins. Knew each other more when we were young. Barbie was a bit older than me and I thought then she was such a pretty young teen. Time has gone so fast for all of us.I’m so glad that we got to see her at the Pruner reunion. Rest in Peace Barbie.

    Dear Danny, Marj and families,
    Oh how well I remember you Mom and Sister, when Barb worked at the Canners she often stopped in on her way by for a visit, She even stayed and babysat me one night. She was always up for a good laugh!
    She has finished this chapter of her life and is now writing a new one. You will miss her, but hold tight to the memories, hugs for you all, Judy (Jory) Hayward
