Barbara had owned and operated Katie’s Kids Kitchen for several years. Her family was most important. She enjoyed following her grandkid’s sports, school programs, graduations, and weddings. Some of her favorite times were spent at the cottage at Indian Lake fishing, boating, playing games, but most importantly making lifetime memories with her family. “Grandma Bobbie” supported not only her grandkids, but their friends as well.
