Barbara was born on May 16, 1942, in Buffalo, NY, where she spent her early years surrounded by a loving family, Robert and Dorothy  Benson and their "Benson girls" Barbara, Bobb ie, Martay, and Carolyn. Her life journey was marked by selflessness, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to her family. She was the epitome of maternal love and care, dedicating her life to nurturing and guiding her children. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her family, as Barbara was a pillar of support within her community. She volunteered tirelessly, offering her time and wisdom to those in need. Her warm smile and kind words brought comfort to many, and her generosity knew no bounds. Barbara had a deep love for nature and the outdoors, and she instilled this appreciation in her children and grandchildren. Countless hours were spent exploring parks, hiking trails, playing in the dirt, or just simply taking it all in from the porch, and enjoying the simple beauty of the world around us. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of her surviving family members: - Her devoted children, Sara, Adam, Peter, & Jonathan - Cherished grandchildren, Jason Lasher, Nicholas Braun, Eric Roggow, Kyle Roggow, Taryn Purvis, Madelyn Roggow, & Olivia Roggow - Great grandchildren, Olivia Lasher, Lydia Roggow - Beloved siblings, Martay, & Carolyn - And all of her Nieces and Nephews she so lovingly adored. Barbara has now reunited with her departed loved ones, finding peace in the embrace of eternity. As we mourn her loss, let us also celebrate the incredible life she lived and the love she shared. Her legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire us all. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. at The Carl House 1176 Atlanta Hwy, Auburn, GA 30011 where family and friends can come together to pay their respects and share cherished memories of Barbara.
