    To all of Barb’s family & friends~
    I’m so sorry for your loss.

    Growing up living next door, I’ve pretty much known Barb for as long as I can remember & have always prided myself on being her “favorite neighborhood kid” over the years. From our many visits while walking T.J. & then Corky, to telling stories about OSU & spilling neighborhood “gossip”, I will remember her fondly- always following the rules with a friendly wave as I drive (slowly) by.

    We only lived next to Barb since July 2020, but she treated us like we’d lived here for years. Corky would bark when we brought our two dogs out, but Barb would just say “Oh Corky, that is Molly and Lizzie.” She asked about our daughter Sarah who was away at college. We talked nearly every day. Barb doted on her kids and grandkids. Love you Barb! Susan and Chip Mahaney

    Not seeing Barb and Corky every day visiting with our other neighbors leaves a large void in our hearts. She cared very much about the Commons’ beauty and upkeep and will be truly missed. Gary and I are so sorry for your loss. Love, Cherlyn
