Barb was born in Baltimore, Maryland where she lived for a short time before moving to Colorado with her parents and 4 siblings. She attended St Pius catholic school through 8th grade, where she met her husband, Charles. After graduating from Central High School, she got married at the young age of 18 and started a family right away. Barbie raised 3 kids as a hard working mom. Dedicating her life to her children, she worked several different jobs, even up to 3 at a time to provide for them. She secured a long term position as a driver with UPS where she worked full time, often pulling long hours of overtime, while also attending school and earning her Bachelor’s degree. She went on to earn her Masters degree then retired from UPS to care for her mother full time. She was the most understanding, faithful, compassionate, caring and thoughtful person who wore her heart on her sleeve and gave selflessly, never expecting anything in return. She was a wonderful mother, sister, aunt, nani and friend. Loyal to her husband and family. 

Barbie will be dearly and tremendously missed.
