Barbara worked at various short-term jobs in her early years before taking a position at the Cascade Woolen Mill in Oakland, where she worked for over 20 years. After her retirement from the mill, she was employed as a window clerk at the Mount Vernon Post Office into her early seventies. Barbara loved the outdoors and all that came with it. Everything from flower beds, vegetable gardens, cutting and burning brush, picking berries, long walks, outdoor games and family gatherings. She enjoyed hosting holiday dinners and summer barbeques for her family members. Family was very important to Barbara. She especially loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Justin Olson and Natalie Stevenson held a special place in her heart. Her great-grandsons Cooper and Garrett Stevenson brought great joy and in her words, excitement to her week. She looked forward to their weekly visits and overnight stays. She loved them dearly.
