                Barbara was born on February 24, 1945 in Brooklyn, NY. She was the second of three children to Ben and Rose Kramer. She attended Tilden High School, went on to graduate from Barnard College and subsequently became a licensed clinical social worker. Barbara loved working with people, both teens and adults, and her work was very meaningful to her. Early in her career she worked at the Pleasantville Cottage School in Pleasantville, NY and later at Ridgefield High School in Ridgefield, CT. She also had a private practice in Mount Kisco, NY for over 25 years.

                Barbara was a wonderfully kind and compassionate person, often putting the needs of others before herself, and was always willing to listen and offer advice. She loved spending time with family and friends, especially her grandchildren, and working in her garden, which was her passion. She loved reading, mysteries, classical music, antiquing, tag sales, pottery and chocolate, and was an expert in knitting and crocheting. She most loved being Grandma to her 7 grandchildren, always bringing them beautiful cookies for every occasion.
