Condolences left for Barbara H. Gnagey:

    Great-Aunt Barb was a very special person. She was always willing to give you advice or suggestions whether you asked for them or not. Barb was always present at every important moment in my life and I could always count on her to let me know which newly released movies were worth going to. Barb was a very special person in our lives and she will be sadly missed. My prayers to Fritz, Karen, Laura, and Kathryn may you all know the grace of the Lord in your loss. Like Barb always said...I don't like you , but I love you!!!
    With deepest sympathies

    Barb was always like my "Aunt Barb" too. She was a wonderful and very classy lady. I have many great memories of hanging out with Barb and her adorable granddaughters and their mom Karen at the Hoffman's house (which was like my second home). She will be missed greatly. My sympathy goes out to Fritz, Karen, Laura and Kathryn. Love Melissa

    My heart dropped when I saw her name in the obits. I was her pharmacist and I always tried to take time to talk to Barb. She was a very smart and charming lady. Candid, yes, but very interesting. We talked about movies and she spoke kindly of a niece that she corresponded with about movies. I will miss talking to her about movies, and I will have a drink thinking of her.
