Dear mother to Angela Winterrowd (Michael) of Cinnaminson, NJ and Nicki McDonnell (Sean) of Mount Laurel, NJ. Devoted grandmother to Julianna, Norah, Vivienne, Sean and a new grandson on the way.

Barbara will be missed by many cousins, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Barbara grew up in Riverside, NJ, graduating from Riverside High School in 1969; during her time as a student she played basketball and was a cheerleader. A proud alumna of Trenton State College (now TCNJ), class of 1973, Barbara became a teacher of business, computers and typing. She retired after a 35 year career in the Delran Township School District (25 years at DHS and 10 years at DMS.) She was a devoted member of the Church of the Holy Name, Resurrection Parish. Barbara loved animals (especially dogs), puzzles, movies, science fiction, and music from the 50s and 60s (especially Dean Martin). She enjoyed hosting family gatherings (often featuring her homemade meatballs) and family trips to the Jersey shore. It brought her incredible joy to spend time with her daughters and grandchildren. Above all else, her family was most important to her.
A gathering of friends and family will be held on Monday, August 17th at Givnish of Cinnaminson from 8:00am to 10:30am.
