Avid lovers of travel, fine arts and education, Barbara and Saul explored the world together and frequented the theater, opera and ballet. They were the “go-to” couple for new restaurant reviews. Barbara most recently attended classes at PALS (Perimeter Adult Learning Services) and is a graduate of The Florence Melton School of Adult Learning. She was very smart and quick-witted and happiest being with and doing things for her children and grandchildren. Family was of the utmost importance, and she believed in celebrating at every opportunity.

A devoted daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, Barbara is survived by children JoEllen and Alan Levy, Jim and Pam Millman and Gary and Lucy Millman; and grandchildren Alex Speer; Sara, Erica and David Levy; and James, Matthew, Erica and Olivia Millman.
