Immediately out of college, Barbara worked at Meharry Hospital in their Labor & Delivery/Nursery department and later was employed by Skyline Medical Center where she served as a Charge Nurse until her health began to fail. She served at Skyline for approximately 25 years.


Barbara loved international travel visiting places like Dubai, England, Paris, Hawaii, and even traveling the mid-west by train with her sister Delores Ann. She loved cooking, especially baking. The family relied on Barbara to bring the desserts to family gatherings where she wowed the family with 8-layer cakes and many other fancy desserts.


Barbara was a very caring and generous person; often helping whenever and wherever she saw a need. She loved her nieces and nephews and they always excitedly anticipated receiving a gift from one aunt (Barbara) at certain holidays.
