Sally Fran Keelen wrote a sympathy message

“Barbara Keelen was by far the kindest, gentlest lady I ever knew. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone. She loved to laugh, especially when getting a joke on her husband Jim. She was industrious, loved to knit and made many baby hats to give to hospitals and made a baby blanket for every grandchild (and many others) until she was unable to knit anymore. She left a legacy of love to all who knew her. I will miss her greatly! Fran Keelen”
