Barbara lived a full and wonderful life and brought tremendous joy to whoever she met along life's journey.

She was a beloved Dance Instructor at her own studio (Starlight in Cambridge) in the 1950s and 1960s, and mentored many children who went onto great successes.

Barbara had a close circle of great friends, and they frequently enjoyed dining out, going bowling, and line dancing. She was loved by all and will be missed by many.
