Barbara grew up in the Kensington section of Philadelphia and is a graduate of Murrell Dobbins Career and Technical High School.  She fell in love with her husband Bill, who grew up just around the corner from her childhood home in Philadelphia.  Barbara and Bill were married in 1960 and together successfully set out to achieve the American dream.  Barbara worked as a beautician in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey for over forty years.  She enjoyed life at the Jersey Shore, Marco Island, and in the Pocono Mountains with her husband Bill, her family, and her friends.
