Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about Barb’s passing.  She was such a pleasure to work with and the best prankster ever.  Her spunk and laughter was so special.  Her family was her greatest love of all, she will be missed but will always be with you.
With Deepest Sympathy

Dear Mr. Douglas, Lisa, Lori and Scott,
I am very sorry and saddened to hear about Barb’s passing.  Some of my earliest memories of “Mrs. Douglas” were in the late 70’s when I was a youngster visiting the Manor Township municipal building where my Mom worked with Barb.  It seemed like it would be a fun place to work, mostly because of Mrs. Douglas’ vibrant personality and laughter every time I was there.  Fast forward about 20 years when I had the pleasure to work with Mrs. Douglas at Rettew Associates.  She was still her fun and high energy self!  May you cherish all the good memories of your wife and Mom during this difficult time and the years ahead.
 
With Deepest Sympathy,
G.J. & Christine

To Barbara’s family:  My condolences to all of you!  Barbara was a bright light in this world extinguished too  soon!  I was blessed to know her for many years, going back to OES when we were both preparing for eventually becoming Worthy Matrons  of our respective chapters.  We had many good times together as part of that organization and shared events.  We have maintained a friendship all these years getting together several times each year to share memories and catch up on happenings in our lives!  She was special and I will greatly miss her sunny smile and hugs!  May your happy memories of your wife and mother and God’s love sustain you in this sad time!

Barbara was a Worthy Matron with me in 1979-1980.  She was a member of a Lancaster Chapter and I was a member of a Lititz Chapter of Eastern Star.  She and others from that year have continued to meet every few months to eat out for breakfast or lunch.  We were together March 20, 2019.  We all will miss Barbara very much.

Lisa and Lori, I am so saddened to hear about your mom’s passing. Your mom was such a wonderful lady and such a character!! I missed her when she left RETTEW and I was always happy to see her and your dad at the Mart from time to time. Now I will miss seeing her there. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Larry, Lisa, Lori, Scott
I was sorry to read about Barb’s death in the paper. She is just a year older than I.  It 
makes me realize I am getting older.  I enjoyed getting to know all of you while choir
director at Grace church.  I am sure you will miss her.  I will keep you in my prayers.

I can’t believe how much I will miss her on my visits to PA.  Barbie did so much for everyone…. especially her friendship and care-giving to our Aunt Nancy.  One of her legacies is the diligent research on family histoy and her efforts to establish twice yearly “cousin dinners.”  I thought we had many more years of PA meetings and emails about the family.
Her infectious laughter still rings in my ears and memory.
God Bless her and God Bless all of you.

Larry  I was very sorry to read  of Barb’s  death.  She was quite an active gal. I guess I never knew of her interest in County history , a mutual interest of mine.  My sincere condolences to you and family. May she rest in eternal peace.  Don Krushinski

Larry, Lisa, Lori, Scott, 
There are no words to explain my deepest sympathy for the loss of Barbara. She had a huge impact on my life in my younger years, acting as my second mom. She will forever hold a special place in my heart. I know this is a very hard time for all of you and I want you all to know that I’m only a phonecall away. May God Bless you all.
