My sister Barb, and I were close as brother and sister in our childhood, teens, and early twenties. She moved to Indiana in the 1980s.
Barbara had a beautiful singing voice! A favorite memory of mine was Barb singing R&B hit “Band of Gold” by Freda Payne. My wife Carmi and Barb would sing together often!! Barb loved Elvis!
Barb also babysat our son, Shawn, as a wee one!! She sang to him also!!
We will always remember Barbara as a fun loving, kind, generous sister
Love,
Jerry and Carmi
The Wilkes family sends our thoughts and prayers to you all in this time of grief.. We love you and pray that God’s comfort continues in you and His light shines in your darkest hour.
I have so much love for Barb, as well as my children who are now adults. She has seen them grow and would spend special time with them when me and the girls would have time to break away. She was always present in her grandchildrens lives and treated my children no different. We always had a wonderful time when we went on a trip or luncheon. Thank you for being a stand in Mom since mine was so far. You will be missed tremendously Barb. I love you very much.
