Barbara first worked at Chrysler until she became a mom. When her kids were older she worked part-time at K-Mart and St. Louise Church. Barbara was very active with her husband Joe in Cub Scouts and baseball, especially when her boys were growing up.  All the kids affectionately knew her as Mrs. Joe. She was a wonderful wife and a loving mom.  Barbara was also very active at her church, St. Louise de Marillac Church, and was a founding member of the parish.
