She was a proud and dedicated member of the Minerva Baptist Church, a Girl Scout Leader, gardener, and participated in the many Minerva Community events. Most of the town has purchased her brown bread and craft items at fundraisers.

Besides her parents, she was pre deceased by her husband John “Jack” Curtis, brothers Harold and Gordon Dimick; sisters Lillian Vanderwalker and Vivian Hopkins; son Robert Curtis; daughter Carolyn Leigh; stepson Jack Curtis.

Barbara is survived by her son Earl Curtis; daughter-in-law Cindy Curtis; grandchildren Rusty (Melissa) Leigh, Michele (Victor) Fraser; great grandchildren Heather Leigh, Michael Allen, Lydia Leigh and several beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.

Her family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Elderwood at North Creek for their compassionate care of Barbara.
