Barbara was raised in the Birmingham Hungarian neighborhood and went to Morrison R Waite High School where she excelled as a lead soprano voice in her high school choir. She carried her love of music, and her vocal abilities, to Holy Rosary church as a cantor, and choir member for many years, but unfortunately she was unable to continue singing with her husband and family obligations. She was a wife and mother first, making a wonderful home. When Barbara's children were older, she started to utilize her talents as a caregiver by caring for children in her home, and then onto working in a childcare center. Barbara considered volunteering in her church very important and was inspired by Sr. Magdalena Pohlman, NDA to work with young adults and families studying to become Catholic through the churches RCIA program. She also helped share weekly gospel reading during Sunday masses at the children's liturgy. Her loving and generous heart has made an impact on young people who would continue to stop and greet her regularly. Giving hugs and remembering their time with Ms. Barb, or Grandma Barb.
