Barbara "Orangeberg" as we called her as children was a delightful and hard-working soul. One summer I worked at Mama's real estate company and Barbara tolerated my youthful exuberance with grace. An unforgettable character!
God be with you.

Hi Steve and Paula, Rob and I would like to add our condolences to those expressed here. It always seemed like she was invincible. I believe it was about a year ago that I last saw her. She was full of energy as usual. We will always remember her that way. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
