    I am very sorry for the loss of Barb. She was very loved. I enjoyed working with her as well as being her friend outside of work. She was a very strong lady and I will miss her humor and loving spirit. I love you Barb, and I will miss you always.

    Barbara was a true friend to me. Her upbeat attitude was infectious. She was extremely talented and versatile in the kitchen. She lit up the area with her smile and was loved and admired by all. She had an inner strength and tackled everything with zeal, passion and personal responsibility. She will be sorely missed. Blessing and peace to her family.

    Dear Fuller children-I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I remember all the great times I had with her at Gage and Tucker. She was my “mom” at work. And she and Bill could sure throw quite a party!! WE enjoyed many fun times with her. Not to mention the times at the lake and on the pontoon boat! The world has lost a wonderful, caring funny woman. But heaven has gained one! May she and Bill have quite a reunion. May God bless all of you-Love and prayers-Theresa (Ludwig) and Bob Textor

    Barbara, or Mema as I came to know you…you were the sweetest. Thank you for accepting my daughter as your granddaughter when she married Tosh. You were so good to her. And I always enjoyed my Christmas cards from you over the years. I know that your grandchildren loved you so very much and you will be missed by them. I think your eyes twinkled when you saw your grandchildren, a trait I hope to emulate. That’s what I’ll remember about you…a twinkle in your eye.

    To Barb’s family – I know you will miss your mom terribly. She is someone we all will never forget. I worked with her at Gage & Tucker, spent many a time with her and Bill at their parties, the lake and just hanging out. I have many fond memories of them both. Take care. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Marsha Brott
