Barbara was happily married to Gordon Heath for eight years, and together they had three children. She proudly mentions having "a bunch of grandchildren and great-grandchildren," a testament to the love and legacy she has built with her family. Barbara's pets, a poodle named Cupcake and a black cat named Midnight, have added joy to her life over the years.
Her travel adventures spanned across Mexico, half of the United States, and the enchanting landscapes of Czechoslovakia. The latter held a special place in her heart, where she immersed herself in learning about German history, danced by the Blue Danube River, and explored the majestic castles. Barbara reflects on her greatest accomplishment with pride – being a great mom and grandmother. The pivotal moment in history that deeply affected her was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, whom she regarded as a great man. For Barbara, the holidays of Christmas and Thanksgiving hold special significance. She treasures the moments spent with family and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones. Sewing and cooking are among her favorite hobbies, showcasing her creative and culinary talents. Barbara also enjoys playing computer games, has a fondness for the color yellow, and cherishes the beauty of roses.
