Moulds, Barbara Louise

Barbara Louise Moulds, beloved daughter, sister, and friend, passed away Monday, January 9, 2017 surrounded by her loving family. Barbara, "Our Family’s Rock," lived her life in the service of others, and was especially known for her love of her family.

Barbara was a big sports buff; she loved children, M&Ms, and especially being with her nieces and nephews. Barb’s creative hands and eye for beauty brought lovely decorative items and artistic gifts to everyone around her. She was a woman of great faith and a lifelong Catholic.
