November 30, 2023. Predeceased by husband, Charles; daughter, Jacqueline. Survived by children Paul, Elizabeth (Brett) Mahler Noll, Michael (Karen). Grandchildren Maria (Brad) Collins, Kelsey, Joseph, Isaac and Allison Noll; great-grandchildren Brennan, Danny, Tynan and McKinley, and many beloved family members.
Barbara’s spent most of her years active in her church and the community. She loved meeting new people, and it could be said that “She never met a stranger”. Barbara had a gift for striking up conversations and bringing a smile to everyone who checked her out at the grocery store or waited on her at a restaurant.
Barbara truly had a heart for others. In addition to years of volunteering, she also helped establish a Compassionate Friends chapter in the Rochester area to help minister to parents of deceased children.
Barbara was a woman of strong faith and is now home with her Lord.

My Condolences to Barbara’s family. She was here at Solstice at Fairport for a short time and we ate some meals together. We had some very good discussions and in doing so I found out that she knew a lot of my friends. We will all miss her here. May she rest in peace.
Barbara was a wonderful, caring woman. She was one of the first members and a volunteer with Perinton Ambulance. She and her sister Judy traveled twice a week to Buffalo to take the first EMT course in NYS. (Which was called MET). And then dedicated herself.to get the first ambulance service for Perinton up and running. Always thinking of others and there to help.
I met Barb at my father’s funeral and we became fast friends. Such a lovely woman! My mom kept us updated on each other’s goings on and played messenger between the two of us as we were always asking about each other. I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to get back in town to see her again. A very special person. Thoughts and prayers to all.
