Barbara was a beautiful, loving, and caring wife. Her husband was blessed to be married to her for fifty golden years. They celebrated with family and friends as they renewed their vows. Their grandson, Robert Lyle Phillips officiated his very first wedding ceremony with them. Barbara was loved by everyone she came in contact with because of her giving ways, beautiful singing, pleasant personality, and love of life itself. We thank God above for this wonderful woman who gave joy and happiness to anyone she met.
Barbara asked that these words be spoken over all her family and friends: You were loved so much by me. Take time to appreciate what God has given you, and don't take life for granted. I'll see you again one day.
