Barb made a difference in my life,. She was a dedicated mentor to so many women. I learned so much from her. I am deeply saddened to know she has left us. I will miss her kindness, quick smile, and tender concern for all. We were "her girls" Man we had fun! Thank you Barb for the love and caring you always gave me.

Barb was a hard worker and always had a smile. I'm always amazed at how little I know about people until I read their obituary and learn just how amazing they are. You will be missed.

My heart is so heavy and sad with this news of Barb passing. She was an inspiration to me and so many other females, she was an angel on earth and the love between her and Fred was amazing and would always warm your heart when they were together! I have so many lovely and dear memories of her and 6th Street Hair Salon that I will forever cherish! Lots of love and prayers to Fred, Ashley and Eric; may God bless you all!
