She is survived by her daughter Christy Lynn Brown (Steven), two granddaughters, Megan Brown and Wendy Brown (Kyle Skomars), and a great grandson, Hudson Brown. Barbara was raised in Roseland, New Jersey by loving parents who both worked outside the home. This meant Barbara did many of the household chores as soon as she was old enough. Lessons were learned that informed and guided Barbara for the rest of her life. While attending college in Pennsylvania, Barbara met Hudson Hollenback Jr. They were soon engaged, and after his graduation they were married on June 12, 1954. Barbara and Hudson began their married life in Beaumont, Texas, where they were blessed with 2 children, Andrew and Christy. Barbara enjoyed the role of wife and mother. Barbara and Hudson moved to Minnesota in 1971 and never left. Barbara and Hudson enjoyed retirement together, gardening, traveling, and spending time with friends and with their 2 granddaughters. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Sunrise Sr. Living of Minnetonka for taking such good care of Barbara for the past 2 years.
