Barb grew up in Chicago, Illinois where she performed as the lead in both elementary and high school theatre productions.

Barb enjoyed traveling, especially her multiple trips to Aruba and Hawaii. She also cherished spending time with her friends and celebrating many frequent joyous occasions together.

As a Real Estate Broker, Barb designed and built 2 houses and a 4-unit apartment building. As a Property Manager, Barb served as President of the Kenosha Landlord Association and on its Board of Directors. Barb took great pride in her many years of experience in property management and was well respected by her peers. After retirement Barb became closer to her faith and attended and completed RCIA classes and was thankful to make her sacraments at St. Anne’s Catholic church in 2017.
