Granddaughter of the late J.Adelbert and Anne Kilfoyle, one of the 13 founding families of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.

A 1967 graduate of Valley Forge High School, she went on to work as a customer service representative for Champion Service Corp.  Then went on to work for Third Federal Savings & Loans, teaching bank tellers how to use the first computers introduced for banking services; as well as, being a mortgage loan processor. This sparked her interest to enroll in Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C), where she earned her Associates Degree in Computer Technology.

Barbara loved and cared about all of her family members very much, especially shown with the great job she did in taking care of Mom for so many years; and in how much she loved holidays and being with everyone.

Among one of our fond memories of her is how she loved to dress up in her clown suit just for fun sometimes.
