To all of Barbs family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. She will be sadly missed by alot of people. I met her when she just finished H. S. She had the most beautiful smile, even though she never showed ANY pain or discomfort, or bad times. I have NEVER seen her without a smile. Barb, now you are at peace. Remember all your memories and cherish them all.

RIP and Fly High, let all your family and close friends feel that you arei free, she’s soaring through skies and watching over her loved ones. You all have a very special angel with you at all times.

Condolences to Barb's family. I remember Barb moving to Williston. We were both in the Clarinet section of the Junior High band. Barb rocked those silly Navy jeans which we had to wear on Band Day.

My heart is so sad and the tears come too easily - Barb and I struck up a conversation the first week I started at NW Human Services in 1991, and we never stopped. We so enjoyed working together years later in the same unit and we thrived as a team. Barb was amazingly kind and thoughtful during my husband's illness and death - even arranging our daughter's graduation reception. If there was a need, Barb and her kind heart were there. She was everything rolled into one person to have justly earned the title of "a perfect friend", and all without trying. She was a brilliant beautiful smile, kind words, wonderful listening ear and had a heart bigger than her body. She hated being ill, hated it - it does lighten my heart a little to know she is at peace and watching over all her family and friends. Thank you for being you, Barb - you are so loved!

I was blessed to run into Barb a couple of years ago when she was in Bismarck with Libby & Barb’s very loved grandchildren. Barb had her usual big, beautiful Barb smile for me and we exchanged many hugs. She introduced me to her beautiful daughter & adorable grandchild. When I left her she just brightened my whole rest of the day. That was Barb. May Barb’s love & memories comfort everyone that loves her.

We were sorry to hear of Barb's passing. We met Barb when she was our daughter, Jamie's case manager. She was so upbeat and had a great smile. She loved Jamie and Jamie loved her. She was so good to my mother when she was at Briarwood. She will be missed.
