Barbara — You will be missed. I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to see you before you passed on. I love you deeply and thank you for being you. —Jeff
Barbara and I met when we were in the 3rd grade. We grew up together and were in each others weddings. I have so many good memories of her. Surely God has prepared a special place for someone as kind and gentle as Barbara.
I met Barb at work at Weirton Steel. Barb is truly a sweet, loving, caring person. She never complained about her illness. I’m sure the angels took her into heaven and will watch over her. She had a special place in everyones heart that new her.
To one of the kindest, most loving persons I have ever met. You will be missed more than you know.
Barb, One of God’s newest Angels… You will be deeply missed… I was truly blessed to have known you and worked with you … I know you will be looking down on all of us…and watching over us…always with that beautiful smile.. GOD BLESS Joanne
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Barb helped us out with a couple of insurance problems,(and I believe she really liked doing it). She was well liked and respected in the Tin Mill, where I work.
She was a great person as you can see by the many friends she had in her personal life and Weirton Steel. When I was at the lowest point in my life when I was diagonosed with breast cancer after Barb had hers, she gave me to the strength and the will power to fight it. I will always think of her and she will always hold a special place in my heart. She was an angel in my eyes.
Heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Barbara’s family. I worked with Barb and am glad I got to know her. She will be missed by so many. Sandi Gajtka
My deepest sympathy to the members of Barb’s family. She was a true and honest friend to all that met her and will be missed dearly. I unfortunately was out of town at the time of her passing, but am so grateful that I was able spend time with her over the past couple of weeks.
I am saddened by the loss of Barb. We went to high school together. She was always full of life. I know she’s making them laugh up in heaven.
