Barbara was born in 1935, in Los Angeles, to Patrick and Mary Hold, and she attended Washington High School. Barbara was the proud mother of four children.

She was always so full of life, she had so much love to offer and with that, had many friends. She had such a witty personality with a knack for making people laugh.
