Barb loved to cheer on the Broncos and tease anyone who dared go against them! Spending her summers camping at the lake and in the mountains created some of her fondest memories. Animals of all kinds were always a friend to Barb, sometimes she preferred the company of a good dog to people. Being with her family window shopping, going to the casino, and going out to eat made her smile bigger sometimes than her cheeks would allow.

Barb is preceded in death by her grandparents Mary and Cate Lagunas. Her mother and father, Corrine and Felix Lopez.
