Barbara Doctor

My wonderful friend Bobble. I have known her since we were 14. We became friends with Judy, and Teri. I used to think of us as the four musketeers.
Bobbie was stunning, inside and out. She had a face like a movie star with the incredibly beautiful long eyelashes. She was so much fun to be with. Bobbie and I spent six weeks traveling together in Europe, 1965. We used to reminisce about those wonderful six weeks together..
She adored her family, Danielle, Jonathan, and of course her beautiful granddaughters. She adored Hilaine, Stew and her nieces. She was a loving aunt.
Bobbie was also an animal lover, so we would talk about dogs and cats that our kids had.
She was a trooper. She had so many struggles in her life yet she maintained her dignity, her independence, and was a role model for the world.
David, and I love her and we will miss her and her funny stories.

Bobbie, my dear friend since freshman year of high school, impish full of fun and good mischief as well as good sense! Beautiful inside and out – and those eyelashes! Loving her family
talking on the phone for hours about her adored sons, granddaughters, and her rocks, Hilaine & Stew , and their family who were hers too. Celebrating our 70 th birthdays with Teri and Marcy decked out in beads and tiaras . All the giggles and chats. How
will the 4 musketeers now down to 3 get through our 80th year? Love you
dearly, Bobbie always and will miss you always too. All the giggles and smart advice. Rest in peace dear friend. Thank you for all the amazing years of friendship! Bruce joins me in extending our love and deepest condolences to the entire family. I know your memory will be a blessing to us all.

I am glad I was able to see Barb in August – it was so nice getting together with her and Ilene Hauser. Barb could always put a smile on your face. She will be missed. My heart goes out to her family and granddaughters who she spoke of often. So sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Barb for the last 10 years and in that time we became good friends. She was kind, sweet, but also so funny. I hope you can find comfort knowing not a day went by that she didn’t express love for her family and how proud she was of her 3 grandchildren. Barb was one of a kind! I know she is in a better place, but I will miss her dearly.
I will never forget her famous phrase “The doctor is in”
Rest in Peace
