Barbara never met a stranger, and dozens of people referred to her simply as Auntie. She devoted her life to two things: raising her children and supporting the New England Patriots. A talented stained glass artist, her creations decorate the homes of many who loved her.

 

Calling hours are Saturday, August 7th from 2 pm to 4 pm at the W. Raymond Watson Funeral Home in Riverside.

In lieu of flowers, please consider planting something in your own garden to honor Barbara’s love of gardening.
