Barbara is survived by her parents, Suzanne and Joseph Horn; their respective partners, Jim Kanary and Joan Horn; her mother-in-law, Margarete Degen, her sons, Ryan and Michael Degen; their respective partners, Jonathon Zarb and Melissa Da Silva.
Her sister and brother-in-law, Rhonda and Paul Gee; her brother, John Horn; her sister-in-law, Gabrielle Feldman; her nieces, Sabrina Gee, Kristal Horn, Nicole Horn, and Stephanie Feldman, as well as her great nieces and nephews.
Barbara was often described as kind-hearted and willing to do anything to help others. She deeply loved her family, including her loyal canine companions, and wanted nothing more than for them to be healthy, happy, and loved.
