with her family in 1936.

Barbara received her Associate of Arts

She married William Vincent Chapp in 1952
and they raised a family of three daughters
and one son in New Jersey and Maryland.

Barbara was a homemaker for many years and
later was hired as an Executive Secretary
for several corporations and the Montgomery
County, MD school system. She supported
her husband Bill in his career with the
U.S. Postal Service in Washington, D.C.
and for a three year assignment in
California. Following Bill's retirement
in 1987, they lived in Virginia, Florida
and Arizona, moving to Phoenix, AZ in 2006

Barbara was a woman with a sparkle in her
eye and a loving heart. She appreciated
beauty and nature and enjoyed gardening
and the outdoors. She was a Girl Scout
leader and went on many hikes, campouts
and canoe trips. She loved travel,
visiting many U.S. cities and foreign
