I will forever remember how generous, kind and knowledgeable Barb has been. When I arrived to UMD in 2012 she welcomed me, helped me feel at home and was just an incredible person having around, doing everything with grace and humor. Thank you Barb for everything you have been for us at UMD. We miss you. May you rest in peace.

Barb was such a joy to talk to. She was extremely helpful with all my questions and requests as a faculty member as well as department chair. We’ll miss her enormously. May her soul rest in piece.

I met Barb when I started at the Smith School at the University of Maryland in 1999. We became friends and never looked back. Barb and Bob loved meeting up with us at Rips in Bowie for dinner and long conversations. I will never forget her kindness or love that she showed my daughter and me over the years. Long phone calls and lots of laughs with Barb and Bob are how she will be remembered.
May God hold her and keep her until we meet again.
