Barbara loved being outdoors. She was an accomplished gardener. She spent hours on her beloved Keuka Lake kayaking, waterskiing and sailing. It was not uncommon for her to win the trophy for fastest sailor in the local Threadbare Yacht Club's annual awards picnic.
Barbara gave of herself through thousands of hours of volunteer work. She donated time to the Girl Scouts, Camp Good Days and Special Times, the College Club and she was a founding member of the East Rochester Alumni Foundation.

This program provides quilts free of charge to nursing homes, homeless shelters and hospital nurseries. She was an accomplished quilter. One of her quilts, the quilt she made for her granddaughter Sara, was recognized in a national quilting magazine. Last year the Quilt Club gave an award at their annual Quilt Contest for Best Hand-workmanship in her honor.
She was an exemplary woman who will live on in our hearts forever.
