Barbara, more than an aunt, a mother figure who always had the remedy for a bad day or worse sick days. She could make you laugh even on cloudy trips and converse like no other; her rainbow of virtues were limitless. Weave together generosity with creativity- there she is. Loving yet humorous; thoughtful yet enigmatic. Isn’t it beautiful how some people leave footprints of comfort wherever they wander?

I've sat thinking for days now about what I could possibly write in here. After 23 years, all the memories and moments and years just jumble together and it feels impossible to pick one moment, or one memory that sticks out more than the others. I can't count the amount of times she found out about Melissa and I doing something we absolutely should not have, but she knew how much trouble I'd get into if my parents found out, so the secrets were always safe with her. And that doesn't mean she'd shy away from telling me how stupid something I did was. I think she just always wanted her house to feel like a safe space to everyone who needed one. The last time I saw Barb was when we flew home to visit in the summer of 2022. The kids and grandkids were all over Grandma Barb's house and she had clearly set up some kind of activity for the kids to all do together with her. I walked over with my daughters and she immediately welcomed my children into the fold and told my daughter to call her Grandma Barb. That's just how she was. She did so much for others without ever being asked, and I hope because I knew her, I'll be able to be the type of friend who always shows up, and the kind of mom who's house is always open.

Tyson and I met when we were just 5 years old at the bus stop on our first day of kindergarten. We become friends immediately and spent so much time together at each other’s houses. Barb always welcomed me into her home, without hesitation, like I was one of her own. From slumber parties and Nintendo 64 game nights to chaffering a van full of us girls back and forth to birthday parties, the movies, or the mall, Barb always made sure we had the best time. I will cherish the memories I made with Barb and the Anderson family forever.

Barbara, I only knew you as "Tyson's Mom" but the couple times that we saw each other after Charlie was born, you were always so kind to me! You taught me different ways to hold newborn Charlie. I'm sad that I didn't get many opportunities to see you, but I'm happy to have the memories of you that I do.

Thinking these last few days of all the shenanigans Barbara has done throughout the years. How she always gave her all to whatever she did, what a kind giving , loving, talented sister she was. How she loved her family so much. I have a thousand memories and can’t just pick one. I know she will be watching over all of you.
I remembered she thought she was adopted because she couldn’t find any baby pictures of her. I remember when she was born and Dad’s boss at the time went and bought a Polaroid camera and there were plenty of pictures. Dad (grandpa) was so happy because he finally got a dark head girl. Not sure about this but I think her sisters kind of let her believe she was adopted.
Everyone she met couldn’t help love her with her sharp wit and happy contagious laugh.
Lots of love and healing prayers.

Barbara has been such a huge part of my life. I couldn't have raised my kids without her. She even stoled one and took her to Michigan. She loved her games such as bowling, Pac-Man, pinball, cards she conquered Super Mario brothers. I am going to miss her so much! She was my little sister, my best friend and my partner in crime.
Goodbye baby sister, until I see you again.

I was lucky enough to spend time with the wonderful Staley family beginning in junior high. I think I was drawn to them because of their fantastic senses of humor and love for each other. Barbara was a wonderful person and a whole lot of fun. Her laugh was infectious and she would make me laugh till my side hurt or I wet my pants. I always thought I would see her again. Her spirit will live on in her siblings and beautiful family but she will be greatly missed by all who loved her.

Norm, Melissa, Emily & Tyson-
I have no words for the loss you're feeling at this moment, but please know I'm thinking and praying for you all. I also don't have enough words to describe this wonderful, crazy lady that will be so dearly missed.
I know as a kid, I was one she loved to love and loved to hate..but in the end.. I always like to think love won ;) I can still hear her sarcasm, and see that stare while shaking her head waiting for my response =) I think I was always a little wound up, too fast talking and a little high energy compared to what she was used to under her roof, but she always welcomed me with open arms and heart and had the patience and determination to try to "slow me down" even if just for a minute =) I enjoyed visiting with her as an adult, and showing her I ended up mellowing out a little ;) After I lost my mom, Barbara would reach out to me every year on that date.. to let me know, even though it was her own birthday, that she was always thinking of me too. She's unlike any one I've ever met, and she'd probably say "duh, it's because I'm so pretty" .. but she meant so very much to so very many.
Barbara--thank you for being everyone's mom on the block and never taking any crap. The laughs and love outweigh the fear you tried to put in all of us =) You made for some great childhood memories! You will be so very missed, Babs (had to give just one more--because I know you hate it & you'd try to chase me out of your house if I called you that ;) )
Mel, Kaka, Tys- You're all 3 such strong women because of the woman that raised you. I know the legacy known as THE Barbara WILL live on as your each raise your own children with the same love and devotion that went into raising you three. The time was short, but you're so lucky to have had her. Sending all my love.. I'm here for you always!

Barb, thank you for being like a mother to me. I am so beyond thankful I can think back to my entire childhood and even through adulthood and know I had someone who loved me like their own. How lucky I am to have had two mothers. You were the kindest silliest woman I knew and always welcomed me with arms wide open. I love you beyond words, we’ll all be playing UNO together again one day. Until then we’ll be missing you deeply.

Barb & I were coworkers at Barron Gas station in Newport for many years. We always enjoyed talking for hours, playing cards sometimes when we had time. Barb was a hoot, we would just laugh all the time.
She truly was a beautiful woman inside & out.
I’m sorry I can’t attend in person as I leave for vacation today & wont return until Monday night.
May you rest peacefully my beautiful friend. Until we meet again ❤️ you.

Barb was like a second mom in my teenage years. Always there when you needed her. She had the best advice and was so loving. She will surely be missed by many.
