From Leslee Warr:
Good memories at Uncle Junior and Aunt Barbara's house when they lived on Falls Ave. So glad she gets to see Uncle Junior again. Thoughts and prayers with all of you.
From Tim and Vicki Rawls:
Barbara was our Angle! Whenever Tim and I needed help from our Savior we would call and ask if she would go the temple and say a prayer. Her prayers always worked and we asked her for her Temple prayer several times over the years. We never got to visit Aunt Barbara very much because we lived so far away. But talking to her every month was such a special time to share with her! We’re so happy for her to now be with her Junior! Oh we loved her home and the Christmas Tree in the closet was awesome!
From Dorinda (Poulton) Hammond:

To the Martin & Povey families, I´m sorry to hear that Barbara is gone, but I think she´s so happy back with her beloved Junior. She always used to tell me that she just couldn´t understand why Junior didn´t come to get her. She was more than ready to go. Barbara was always such a kind and gracious lady. I remember thinking that when I was a little girl and we went to visit them, and that opinion has never changed. She always created a beautiful home, no matter what she had to work with, and she raised good, honest, successful children. I know she´ll be missed by so many people.
From Sherry :
Barb was so kind to our family. She was such an active lady. I think I saw her out on walks every day, and she was still working in her garden and took time to visit with me or my children. We will miss her.
From Julie Gardner:
Barbara was a close friend of mine. So kind and caring. I love her and I will miss her alot.
From Arlene Thompson and Marlene Peterson13:
Special lady and precious friend. Arlene Thompson and Marlene Peterson
From Alicia Adams Robertson:
Barbara was always a fun lady and a ray of sunshine at our Adams Family gatherings.
