Together they enjoyed a lifelong passion for traveling and learning until his death in 2012. Barbara sewed many intricate square-dancing outfits for their adventures on the dance floor. She shared her love of music by encouraging her sons to take piano lessons. In later years, she spent many hours listening to her carefully curated iTunes library. Barbara was well-known for her kindness, particularly to children and animals, and her collection of teddy bears.
