Barbara and Buddy owned and operated Certified Oil in Morehead for more than 20 years and later she worked at Litton's Greenhouse for several years.  She loved following Kevin's golfing career since his childhood.  She enjoyed driving the golf cart everywhere and often chose a route not on the golf path to be close to the green.  She enjoyed Bingo, casinos, game shows and caring for others.  She loved her family unconditionally and was crazy about her loving granddaughter Emma, whom she adored. Barbara will forever be remembered with love.
