Barbara, 74 years of age, was born July 02, 1940 and passed away February 26, 2015 in Robeline, LA. Known as "Granny" to nearly everyone who knew her, Barbara always made everyone feel welcome in her home. Cherished memories were created over the Sunday dinners and celebrations she had prepared. Barbara found much joy in her grandchildren and great grandchildren and she never let an opportunity pass to let them know how special they were. Barbara could often be found reading a book or chatting with friends on her porch swing, crocheting and quilting in her chair, or cooking in her kitchen. Barbara was lucky enough to marry the love of her life at the age of 17 and was blessed with five children to whom she was deeply devoted. Three generations of family have witnessed her grace, class, strength and wisdom all because she kissed her "Frog."
