Barbara worked briefly at S.S. Kresge in Richmond before accepting employment at Belden, where she retired in 2007 after 42 years of service. She never met a stranger and put that philosophy to work late in 2010 when she became a greeter at Meijer until illness forced her back into retirement in early 2011.
