Condolence: There is no way to say goodbye to Barbara - one of the dearest and loyal friends ever. We have laughed and cried together since 1971. Our phone constantly rang with updates on her daily activities and those of all she knew. I can't imagine not hearing from her. She is the only person I've ever known who looked forward to chemo treatments as she loved everyone who helped her and those she met. She was an awesome mother who would have given her life for her two "boys". She would also do anything in the world to help anyone who needed help. She will be missed by so very many. She fought a long and hard battle and she truly was a soldier. Love you our dear friend.

Condolence: Barbara was one of the most caring and kind people I have ever met. She went through so much these past years, and never complained - always looking at the brighter side of things.
I will miss our talks and all the things we would laugh about, even when she was very sick - what a sense of humor she always had.

God Bless you my dear friend -Love, Pat

Condolence: Barbara was one of a kind. She gave me my first job when I moved to the United States from England. We had many happy times together and she became a great friend to me and my husband. She came to England with us and even came to see us here in Alaska a few years ago. For Charlie and William, your mother was the most caring and thoughtful person I've ever known. She will be dearly missed.

God Bless you Barbara. With much love, Claire and Ed.

Condolence: Charlie and William, speaking on behalf of Mark, Danny, Theresa, myself and our extended Gold family we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a fighter to the end - and I'm sure the Zang girls are now arguing about nonsense as they reunite in the afterlife... Love you guys!

Condolence: Barbara was one of my favorite customers for many years! The last several Christmas’s she always found a way to come in and say Hi to the girls at Creekside Gifts and bring us fudge! I will miss her positive attitude, strength and her laugh... Keep dancing Barbara!! ❤️😞

Condolence: Will, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Condolence: The angels are rejoicing that she is now among them, but we will miss her lively and spirited personality.
