She will also be deeply missed by her friends and staff at Brookdale Hermitage and Bingo Buddies both in Boca Raton and Tallahassee. Barbara was born on October 1st, 1937 in Malden, MA. She grew up in Andover, MA, but lived most of her life (over 40 years) in Boca Raton raising her four kids and numerous grandchildren. Known by her husband as “the flower of Boca Raton” her family remembers her as a feisty Irish card shark who could win at every type of card game. Called Grammie by her grandchildren, her legacy of cards, stuffed shells, and loud Irish Italian family gatherings will live on in our hearts and homes for generations to come.
