Barbara enjoyed bird watching and her two companions, Sneakers and Mickey. She also enjoyed her many beautiful gardens, especially her spring time blooms, which were brought from Holland by a longtime family friend, Christien Lassche of the Netherlands. Barbara enjoyed her monthly luncheons with the class of ’64 ladies. She especially loved her yearly vacations to Disney World with her children and grandchildren.

Barbara is survived by her husband, Arnold Crosby; children, Daniel Crosby, Charlotte Cavers and Noel Crosby; grandchildren, Brooklynn Crosby, Caden Crosby and Carson Cavers; and great-granddaughter, Sloan Violet. Besides her parents, Barbara was predeceased by her siblings, James Ambrosia, Robert Ambrosia, Patricia Ambrosia Harms and Delbert Ambrosia.
