She enjoyed the friendships of so many, and she fostered these relationships by hosting parties with cherished family and friends. Her relationship with God was central to her life, and she lived her life in His graces. She was a Stephen Minister, sang in two choirs, and welcomed worshippers each Sunday with her warm gracious smile. She enjoyed the outdoors, travelling, walking, driving, feeding her birds, and reading.
A committal service will be held at the Memorial Garden at Anona United Methodist Church at a later date.
Barbara was a strong supporter of many charitable organizations. The family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation to their favorite charity in Barbara Stromberg’s name.
