Her greatest joys in life was her family and she loved becoming a grandmother and great grandmother. The family get together's no matter how loud always made her smile and she expressed many times how it warmed her heart to have a close family.
Barbara was raised in Clarksville, PA by her grandmother Manerva Bane Bennett. She had fond memories of her life there & always looked forward to the Bennett Reunion as well her class reunions.
Barbara loved children and it was obvious as she created the Nelson Rural Kids Club and gave back to the community by getting kids involved in arts and crafts and taking them on field trips. Barbara also volunteered weekly with the Windham and Garrettsville Elementary Schools and the Renaissance Family Center in Windham doing crafts with the children for many years as well as teaching Sunday School at her church. Her hobbies were quilting, crocheting and her flower gardens which she took such pride in and always made look so decorative. Her great love of the promises of the scriptures and her relationship with the Creator was always apparent.
Barbara graduated from Jefferson High School in Jefferson, Greene County, Pennsylvania then she attended University of Pittsburg where she studied education. She retired from General Electric Trumbull Plant in Warren Ohio. She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Nelson, Ohio. She also loved her women's group and other groups.
