Tributes
"I had the pleasure of knowing Barb through our employment with the City of Ames. A very kind and enjoyable lady, I am blessed to have known her. Sincere sympathy to her family."
"We will miss our get-togethers for 'cards' at Barb's. We always said we were going to play cards but so many times the conversation carried on for hours and we never quite got around to the card game. The laughs and stories we shared will go with us always. Thoughts and prayers to Barb's family."
