Barbara loved downhill skiing and was a member of the Schussmeisters’ Ski Club for many years. She also enjoyed sailing, traveling and spending time in Mio, MI at her parents cabin. Barbara looked forward to her weekly hair appointments with her granddaughter, Heather, and their “Grammy Spammy” Snapchat videos. She loved the special bond they had. Barbara was a wonderful mom and grandma who always put her family first. We are proud of the way Barbara fought back these last 4 years always keeping us and the staff at Suncrest laughing and on their toes.
