Born in Lynn, Barbara was the loving daughter of the late Charles E. Killam and Margaret (Moison) Killam. Barbara was a warm and caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be deeply missed.

Family and friends were Barbara's passion and delight. She loved to host and organize family gatherings for the holidays and birthdays. She was an excellent cook and delighted in feeding people whether they were hungry or not. Barbara loved children and went out of her way to be involved with all of her grandchildren who knew her as Nana.

Animals had a special place in her heart. She would care for homeless cats and when needed take them into her home. Even squirrels, raccoons and birds experienced her caring. She always found time to enjoy watching the wildlife in her backyard.

When not caring for her family and animals, Barbara loved shopping for clothes and gifts for her loved ones. She also enjoyed dining out and traveling abroad with her husband.
