They genuinely loved each other for the rest of their lives together. Barbara and Oliver enjoyed 68 years of marriage, before Oliver passing on August 12, 2018.

She was a true disciple of Christ and cared for all those around her, even up to her last days. She will be missed by many friends and neighbors.

Barbara loved her family and was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She always shared her love with her family and made her home a gathering place for all. She was a fabulous cook and her extraordinary talents brought joy and happiness to so many.

Barbara is survived by her four children, Robert (Jill) Scovel, Dani (Kim) Watson, Mark (JoAnn) Scovel, Matt (Jennifer) Scovel. She has twelve grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren.

The family wants to thank the wonderful staff at Chancellor Gardens and the kind care provided by her hospice team.
