Barb worked very hard through many obstacles in her early life and career and was blessed to be able to retire early with the love her life, Ken. Barbie and Ken enjoyed building their little piece of heaven at Big Bear Lake which became home. They traveled all over the United States and found a winter getaway in Arizona. Many friends and memories were made! She loved being active. She loved dancing, swimming, hiking and bike riding. In her later years, she and Ken found their way back to Pittsburgh and embraced their family. She is the foundation of our family and will be forever missed and forever loved.

Sadly, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we ask that only her family and close friends come to pay their respects on Sunday, May 17, 2020 from 12 PM – 3 PM at Pittsburgh Cremation and Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA 15317, (724) 260-5546.
