Barbara was raised in Hyattsville and graduated from Northwestern High School. She later attended Prince George’s Community College and received a certificate in early learning education.

Oak United Methodist Church in Mitchellville where she ran the nursery for many years. Barbara enjoyed craft shows and making angel crafts for St. Mary’s of the Assumption School in Upper Marlboro. She also enjoyed flowers, especially roses and going to the North Beach Community Center.
