Barbara was married to C. Thomas Cowne on April 15th, 2000. They were married 20 years.
Barbara worked as a Nurse for various health organizations over the course of nearly 30 years. She went on to work with Catholic Charities as an ultrasound nurse at the pregnancy centers in the diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida. Barbara’s work with the pregnancy centers allowed her to act on her very strong right to life beliefs.

Barbara was a loving, dedicated wife and mother. She loved to record music with her husband during her spare time. Spending quality time with her children and grandchildren was very precious to her.
Barbara is survived by her husband, three children, and eight grandchildren.
We are so disappointed that due to Covid 19 restrictions, we can not be with you at this time . But please know that we are with you in heart and spirit and prayers. I am sure Barb is looking upon us with a big smile in her heart, knowing how much she is loved and missed.
We had the pleasure of meeting Barbara (and her son) in 2014 in Shapleigh at their camp, which as of this day continues unchanged, just as they left it, being enjoyed for its beautiful and peaceful simplicity. We met only briefly but it was clear Barbara always put others before herself. We miss you and think of you fondly.
