After graduating from San Francisco Polytechnic High School, “Poly”, Barbara lived in San Bruno for many years, raising her family.

Barbara was a member of the San Andreas Lake Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She also enjoyed playing tennis as a member of multiple Peninsula tennis clubs, annual trips to Lake Tahoe with her tennis friends, and spent many years traveling and following thoroughbred horse racing with her beloved, the late Charlie Galea. Barbara touched many lives and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. In addition to her parents and Charlie, Barbara was preceded in death by her loving sisters, Marie Cesky and Ilene Addison.
