Barbara was a former president of the Houma Terrebonne Jaycee Jaynes. She began her nursing career as a license practical nurse and went back to college to get her degree as a registered nurse. After many years as a registered nurse, she retired from the state while working at the group home in Thibodaux, who she considered her kids. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who will be greatly missed by all whose hearts she touched. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends whom she loved dearly. Barbara will never be forgotten and forever loved and we shall all strive to care and love as she did.

 

The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to everyone from St. Catherine’s Hospice for the excellent care they provided.
