I will never forget the first time I met Barbara when I started cleaning for her. It was her melodic laugh that stuck with me as she told me about Terry cooking Gorilla Glue in the microwave! There's way more to the story and I still tell it to this day. Terry, I was so very sorry to see of Barbara's passing and I hope you always remember her beautiful laughter. I will.
Barbara was a fellow “sports mom” and we became friends. She was devoted to Terry and her family and was steadfast in her friendships. When she involved herself in anything, she was fully invested. I am richer for knowing her and having her in my life. She will be in my memory always. May God be with Terry and her family to bring them peace. You will be in my prayers. Rest easy in God’s glory my friend.
I met Barbara at PJC during our 2 years of Dental Hygiene School. We were part of an amazing class. With all our activities and requirements we bonded and shared memories, even after graduation. Barbara was always calm, supportive and quieter than most of us!!! I will miss her here and send my heartfelt condolences, love and support to her family and friends.
My condolences and prayers to the Stroud family. Barbara was a special friend to the Felton family. Barbara was a very special friend to my sister and I by taking care of us at my Mom and Dad's house. The family were members of our Methodist Church. Barbara will be missed. I will remember Barbara always. Like I will remember Barbara Berg who passed away last year. Barbara was a very special friend to the Felton family also since she took good care of us too like Barbara Stroud.
Our sympathy goes out to Terry and his family at this very difficult time. We have known Barbara for the past 45 years and we will miss her terribly. She always had a smile on her face and encouraging words. She was also one of the most dedicated Gator fans! God bless you dear Barbara.
Heaven just gained a bright and joyful light. I have known Barbara for over 50 years as I am friends with her sister Deanna, and Barbara was friends with my sister Barb. Barbara had the most beautiful smile and delightful laugh. I know her family will miss her terribly but will have wonderful memories to surround them during this difficult time. Keeping the Bolton/Stroud families in my prayers.
