Barbara was born in Providence, Rhode Island, she was the daughter of the late Leo J. Howe Sr. and the late Rita Considine Howe.

Barbara loved helping others, she had a successful career as a Registered Nurse. She was employed by Candler Hospital in the Emergency Room for many years. She also worked at Azalealand Nursing Home before retiring to help her husband with the family business in Savannah. Barbara also adored her grandchildren; she loved taking them on picnics and to the movies. 

Barbara enjoyed travel with her husband, they visited Alaska, Hawaii, Ireland, just to name a few. She was an avid garage-saler, she and her "sidekick", Ann pulled out the ads from the Saturday newspaper early, charted their path, and hit the road. So excited to see what treasures they could find, nothing made her happier than finding a good bargain! Barbara was extremely proud of her Irish heritage. Her mother was an Irish immigrant, who came to the United Stats as a young woman. Saint Patrick's Day was her favorite day of the year, she always hosted a big party for her family and friends following the parade. Corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread were served, and a good time was had by all.
